PA Turnpike Tunnel Bike Ride

  • June 24, 2018
  • 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM
  • PA Turnpike Tunnels Bike Trail Trailhead, 3007 Pump Station Rd., Waterfall, PA

Back by popular demand, we’re going for a bike ride on an abandoned section of the Pennsylvania Turnpike through 2 tunnels! This section of road has been a destination for turnpike enthusiasts, hikers, bicyclists and even a Hollywood movie! Ray's Hill Tunnel is just under ½ mile in length and the Sideling Hill Tunnel is over 1 mile long.

We’ll meet at the trailhead at 11 AM. Enter this address in your GPS or Google Maps app: 3007 Pump Station Road, Waterfall, PA. Or use these coordinates: 40°02'52.0"N 78°05'41.8"W. Turn right off Pump Station road onto a narrow driveway to the parking lot. If you don’t own a GPS or a smart phone, head west on the turnpike to exit 180 (Fort Littleton). A few feet after the toll booth, take a right into a small parking lot. You’ll find restrooms here. There are none at the trailhead. I’ll meet you there at 10:30 and show you the way to the trailhead.

It’s a 10-mile ride to Breezewood, where we’ll stop to eat at the Gateway Travel Plaza. After lunch we’ll ride back to our cars on the same route. The tunnels are REALLY DARK; you’ll need a flashlight. We’ll have a tailgate social at the end of our ride – please bring a snack to share. Email your questions to Len Neidig at lneidig@comcast.net.
