Kendall and Wilton tunnels are 1/4 mile long and the Norwalk tunnel 3/4 mile long. The trail is covered with limstone screenings and provides a smooth riding surface. Trail passes are required by riders 16 years and older. Flashlights and jackets are recommended when walking bikes through the tunnels.

The Kendall Depot is a must to stop and visit, although the real features of the trail are the tunnels. Ted, Robin, and Joan rode this trip. It was a nice July day, not very humid. Check out our SAGBRAW 2001 - Day 2 for more photos on this Trail for a different view when it was very hot and humid with fog rolling out of the Tunnels.
