Manunka Chunk Tunnels - West End. Buttzville, NJ. Old Delaware Lackawanna & Western Railroad. There are collapses in both sides and sometimes there is deep water. You can hike through the tunnels but I don't suggest that. Many sharp rocks, very dark, and the possiblity of more cave-ins. Some tracks are still visible in the left tunnel. The right tunnel contains a skeleton that someone dressed up as a pirate. Don't be afraid. During winter there might bears hybernating.
