Serenity (Explore) - a photo on Flickriver

            There is a bit of magic in watching the old Autumn leaves fall over the canal water. The place is completely silent and the leaves slowly flow over the water and disappear at the end of the tunnel.

A little history:
Dug through the ridge dividing the waters of the Quittapahilla Creek and Clark’s Run, the tunnel was originally 729 feet long. Drilling was done by hand and blasting with gunpowder through argillaceous slate rock with veins of hard flinty limestone 80 feet below the summit of the ridge. The tunnel’s length was reduced to 600 feet during the canal enlargement in 1858. The first boat to pass through the tunnel was The Alpha of Tulpehocken on the morning of June 12, 1827. Boats were poled through the tunnel against the ceiling, while the mules were led over the top of the ridge.  After many transactions and renovations it was opened for the first trip in September 2000.
