Ely's Peak Tunnel

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

The tunnel through Ely’s Peak is a fascinating feature of the DWP Trail near Duluth. This 520-foot tunnel was carved more than a century ago for the mining industry and the railroad. Today, you can hike through the dark and spooky tunnel, or climb on the rocks around it.
