About Old Tunnel State Park
Old Tunnel State Park is a 16.1 acres (6.5 ha) state park in Kendall County, Texas, United States. It is the smallest state park in Texas. The property is managed by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and opened to the public in 2012. It is located halfway between Fredericksburg and Comfort, Texas, on Old San Antonio Road. The main feature of the park is the 920-foot-long railroad tunnel of the Fredericksburg and Northern Railway most of which was dug by hand through solid limestone. The railway used the tunnel until 1941 when it was dismantled so the steel rails could be used for the World War II effort.
