Made by water running through a limestone ridge for thousands of years, the tunnel/cave is surrounded on three sides by 400 foot cliffs. Daily coal trains can be seen roaring through! The park offers seven trails for hikers with birds and plants unique to the area. You can also use the chairlift. "Lighting of the Tunnel" held after Thanksgiving thru the week before Christmas is literally breathtaking! With area choirs, ensembles and acoustic bands this is a great time to visit the tunnel. During the summer the tunnel is lit once a month.

Love the banana split! Great burger and fries! This drive in has been open for over 50 years and has a great fan following. Not unusual to see antique cars or old hot rods in the parking lot. They are closed on Mondays

Local drive through restaurant (winner of the Malcolm Baldridge Award for excellence!!!) So many things on the menu that are great! Known for their sweet tea, hot dogs, frenchie fries and sauceburgers Pal's menu is awesome. Expect lines certain times of the day. Try a couple items not on the menu (kind of a secret hand shake item) like a 'chicken sandwich on the grill' or a grilled cheese with a tomato slice.
