If you would like to add a bit of scare to your travel, Moonville Tunnel is only about a half hour drive from Old Man’s Cave. Close to Lake Hope, Moonville has more than a few ghosts that allegedly haunt the eerily quiet forest surrounding the old tunnel. One is a brakeman for the railway that was killed during the 1800’s and has been seen swinging a lantern just inside the tunnel. For more info:
To get to Moonville Tunnel, from State Route 93-Take State Route 56 to State Route 278 south-following the signs toward Lake Hope State Park. You will pass the iron furnace on the right and then the park lake. After the lake, make the first left on to Wheelabout Road. Almost immediately, the road will fork-veer to the left side of the fork. Follow this road until you get to a metal, one-lane bridge crossing over Raccoon Creek. Just before the bridge and on the left, you will see a pretty well-worn dirt trail that will lead along the bottomland and then up a gravel incline to the old tracks. The Moonville Tunnel is on the left.
