Nada Tunnel is a historic 900-foot (270 m) long tunnel along Kentucky Route 77 in Powell County, Kentucky, in the United States. Formerly a railway tunnel, the presently paved tunnel has often been described as the Gateway to Red River Gorge for the shortcut it provides motorists to the Red River Gorge canyons of the Daniel Boone National Forest.
Built for the Dana Lumber Company between 1910 and 1911, Nada Tunnel (pronounced nay-duh by locals) was named from Nada, Kentucky, then a logging town about 10 miles (16 km) past the tunnel's entrance. Solid limestone was blasted with dynamite and dug out with steam machinery and hand tools, with two teams working from each side of the ridge.
The tunnel's original dimensions were 12 by 12 feet (3.7 m × 3.7 m), but when the first train load of logs became stuck and had to be blasted free, the tunnel's height was increased to 13 feet (4.0 m). Narrow gauge steam locomotives of the Big Woods, Red River & Lombard Railroad regularly hauled timber extracted from the vast forests of the Red River Valley through the tunnel, to a sawmill 15 miles (24 km) away in Clay City.
Once the forests had been cleared, the timber companies pulled out of the area. The railroad tracks were removed and a dirt road was laid in the unlit tunnel in order to accommodate horse and pedestrian traffic. Nada Tunnel has since been paved to carry a single lane of road traffic.
Nada Tunnel lends its name to two prehistoric Native American rock art sites, namely Nada Tunnel 1 Petroglyphs and Nada Tunnel 2, which were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. (courtesy of wikipedia)

NADA Tunnel and KY 77 Nov 14, 2015
An interesting way to enter the Red River Gorge is through the 900-foot Nada Tunnel, located along KY 77 on Cumberland Ranger District. This tunnel was built for use by a logging railroad during the early 1900s. The tunnel is on the National Register of Historic Places.
The tunnel is a one-way section of a two-way road, drivers must watch for the headlights of oncoming vehicles before entering the tunnel.
Nada Tunnel was constructed to haul logs from timber operations in the Red River Gorge. Construction of the narrow gauge railroad began in December 1910 and was completed in September 1911. Rock and dirt were removed by dynamite, steam drills and hand tools. One man was killed in an explosion when he set frozen dynamite near a fire to thaw.
Starting in 1912, 25-ton and 35-ton Climax locomotives hauled logs for about fifteen miles through the tunnel to the Clay City sawmill. The tunnel brought loggers into the gorge and served as a means to transport wood products.
Today the tunnel brings tourists into the gorge to enjoy and experience its natural wonders. The rugged appearance of the tunnel serves as a reminder of the work and labors of early settlers in the area.

It has been designated a National Natural Landmark and National Archaeological District, and it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The 13,379-acre Clifty Wilderness Area lies entirely within the geological area in the Red River Gorge.
