The 8th Wonder Of The World (about 86 miles round trip). Referred to as the Eighth Wonder of the World by William Jennings Bryan, the Natural Tunnel stretches more than 850-feet long and is as tall as a 10-story building. The Natural Tunnel is more than one million years old and has been attracting visitors for more than two centuries. You can ride the chairlift down to hiking trails, picnic tables, and of course, the tunnel itself. The Natural Tunnel, located in Duffield, is a marvelous landmark that can be explored in a number of ways. By far the most memorable is the chairlift that will take you right down to the opening of this fascinating tunnel.
The tunnel was carved naturally over thousands of years through a limestone ridge, and today, it helps to make this breathtaking formation stand as the centerpiece of Natural Tunnel State Park in Scott County, Virginia. While this naturally formed cave, which is so large that it is used as a railroad tunnel, easily merits a visit on its own, this Virginia state park boasts a whole range of additional attractions that make Natural Tunnel State Park the ideal destination for your next RV trip.
With cave tours and canoe trips on the nearby Clinch River, a swimming pool with a 100-foot slide, miles of hiking, mountain biking, fishing, and self-guided trails, the historic Wilderness Road Blockhouse, live music, and a chairlift to the tunnel floor, Natural Tunnel State Park has something to lure in every kind of guest from bikers, hikers and paddlers to history buffs and casual sightseers.
