Explorers document trip through Tailrace Tunnel under Niagara Falls
January 16th - 19 Responses


Tailrace Tunnel

The Tailrace Tunnel running behind Niagara Falls was a work of engineering art when it was laid (brick by brick) in 1906, becoming at the time, the largest tunnel of its type in the world. Part of a hydroelectric station, the Tailrace Tunnel expels water back into Niagara Falls which has been used to generate electricity. For the time, few have entered the tunnels, save a few engineers and construction workers. But urban explorers can never resist a challenge and the Tailrace Tunnels proved to be too much for 3 daring travelers. Late one evening, the three seasoned explorers descended upon the facility, stocked with bags of gear, radio communications, drills, lights and everything else one could think of when descending into the belly of a hydroelectric tunnel. Thankfully, they documented each part of the trip, both in pictures and words, creating an extraordinary tale of risk, adventure and some pretty damn spooky experiences.

    If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
