Geocache Description:

Tunnel Funnel is located in Bald Eagle State Park just east of Poe Paddy and Poe Valley State Parks. It's a short easy walk of about 2/10th's of a mile to the cache from the parking area along an old abandoned rail rode that has been converted to rails to trails.

To get to GZ follow the railroad bed East from the parking area. Parking can be found at the end of the Tunnel Spur Road. You will cross Penns Creek on the converted railroad bridge before entering the Paddy Mountain Railroad Tunnel. You'll find the cache on the other side of the tunnel on Bald Eagle State Forest grounds.

Please feel free to bring your bikes for this cache. You'll find about 2 miles of flat easy biking here.

This section of railroad was last used in the early 70's before hurricane Agnus damaged much of the rail bed. The state did not feel it beneficial to rebuild the rail but better off closing it and converting it to a hiking and biking trail.
