We can find a little bit of everything – from abandoned ruins to beautiful wildflower fields – on the countless trails that wander through Pennsylvania. Some hikes might even be a little bit, well, eerie. This spooky hike in Pennsylvania will take you to a place that’s long been abandoned, although it’s slowly becoming popular with hikers and bikers.
Are you brave enough to follow the stretch of abandoned Pennsylvania Turnpike that's now known as the Pike 2 Bike?
Slip on a pair of comfy shoes (you're definitely going to need them) for the 8.2-mile trek that's rated easy. However, you might have to deal with some rugged terrain and potholes along the way.
Your best bet is to bring a flashlight along for your trek through the tunnels. Watch where you step, too. The tunnels are often littered with garbage and glass, and you might feel water dripping down.
If you're bringing kids along, be prepared to see a lot of graffiti. Some of it might contain profanity.
The tunnels are long, and the terrain can be uneven. However, hikers and bikers praise the tunnels for their eerie aura and because they offer a cool reprieve from the hot sun during the summer.
