Paw Paw Tunnel

The Paw Paw tunnel, completed in 1848 which was about 10 years behind schedule. By the time it opened the C&O canal company was near bankruptcy, put out of business by the railroads.  It is 3200 feet long and pitch black inside.  An interesting experience bike riding through in the dark trying not to fall into the canal.
