Take a Family Bike Ride on the Staple Bend Tunnel Trail! - Visit Johnstown, PA

The Staple Bend Tunnel, the first railroad tunnel in America, can be accessed from the trailhead on Beech Hill Road in Mineral Point. Visitors can hike or bike approximately two miles each way to the 901 foot long tunnel following the old railroad bed. This section is also part of the Path of the Flood Trail as you parallel the Little Conemaugh River towards Johnstown. Visitors can imagine what it would have been like to travel on this important transportation. Interpretive panels help tell the story of the Main Line Canal, Allegheny Portage Railroad, the tunnel and the workers who blasted through the Allegheny Mountains.
Park grounds are open daily from sunrise to sunset. Please note, there is no winter maintenance on the trail.
