Big Savage Tunnel is opening on Thursday, March 28th for the 2024 season!
Crews from Somerset County and the Somerset County Recreation & Trails Association will open the west and east portals in the morning and riders will have full access by noon. This marks the 18th season the tunnel has officially been open.
The 3,294-foot-long tunnel was originally built for the Western Maryland Railway in 1912 but was abandoned in 1975 and fell into considerable disrepair. Reconstruction of the tunnel was completed in December of 2003.
The Tunnel will remain open daily from dawn to dusk, until early December.
