HIDDEN BENEATH THE WOODS OFF of Tweed Boulevard near Nyack, New York are the Clausland Mountain Tunnels, a series of cement halls that were put in place to keep World War I soldiers safe, but are now simply the home of graffiti artists and legends of satanic ritual.
The tunnels were originally part of the Bluefields Rifle Range which was meant to be used as a training ground for members of the New York National Guard. The tunnels were built to allow soldiers to pass under and around the open fire ranges without the risk of being hit by a stray bullet. However, the site was seen as an expensive boondoggle from the get go. National Guard officers, for whom it was being built, called it “one of the most costly blunders in the history of the state”, and locals complained that stray bullets were falling from the sky and putting holes in their barns. Built in 1910, it was only in use for a scant three years before the base was closed.
After the closure of the base, the tunnels were left intact. The tunnels quickly became home to numerous urban legends and underage drinking. It’s rumored that there are miles of tunnels that litter the subterranean landscape of the area, but there seems to be considerably less than that. What tunnels do remain are strewn with garbage and covered in graffiti. The legends surrounding the tunnels range from those involving satanic ritual to bodies being dumped there by the mob, to suicides and murder though little evidence of any of that exists. One of the tunnels is accessed by crawling under the roots of an old tree, like something if out of a fantasy novel.
There are a few entrances to the tunnels, and at least one of the tunnels has collapsed and is impassible, so their safety is somewhat suspect. The tunnels are home to a number of large insects including wolf spiders (which look scary but are basically harmless) and cave crickets (also harmless) which grow to the size of a tennis ball and leap off the walls when startled by a passerby. Nonetheless, despite all the reasons not to go exploring in a collapsing tunnel filled with thousands of fist sized crickets, people continue to visit the tunnels, looking to find a little adventure.

They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What may seem an eyesore to one person, just might be a beautiful masterpiece to another. There are places beloved by communities and protected in the hearts of those that hold their memories of its tattered hallways and decayed rooms dear. This is the way that we feel when we explore places that have been forgotten by time. Left to rot and decay and only holding the silent whispers of what once was. We know that there are people out there with malicious intent toward these places that we venture into. It saddens us when we see the filth and destruction they leave behind, but we want to make something very clear… We are explorers and lovers of history. We in no way, shape or form condone the criminal activities that take place in the historical decaying places that we document. Social media has brought many of these places to the limelight, but the intention is to show the beauty and mystery of abandonment. Not to invite trouble. Trouble will find its way on its own and to say that the peaceful documentation of these places leads to criminal activity, is mind blowing. We have met so many amazing fellow explorers in our travels and are so thankful and humbled by the positive responses we have received. We know that this type of exploration is not for everyone…many people don’t understand why we find such beauty in decay, we can only explain it as a beautiful journey into the past. We invite you to watch our explores and come along as we visit these amazing places. As for the criminal activity that occurs, those individuals are responsible for their own actions. It is a terrible part of our society, but reality, nonetheless. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for loving this location just as much as we do. We hope that through this video, the memories held within will remain.
I got a shout out..yeaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!! That made my day for sure. And you pronounced my name correctly. Thank you! This site is creepy and goes on forever too. Great horror potential here. You'll need to get a t-shirt made saying that you made it through the collapsing creepy tunnel too now. And as usual the humor flows. Ya that beaver thing made me do the chuckle. And I learned that Jennifer is a metal head and Marcel is a Backstreet Boy. That last tunnel would of done me in as soon as that big ass spider showed up so you're braver than I am. I really didn't see you going the distance after spotting all the piles of crawlies. Literally right after I said "are they seriously gonna finish this tunnel?" you both did a fast u-ee. lmao. Anyway thanks for the shout out and also for another very very entertaining video. You two are awesome!!
Hahaha....this comment is great! Of course we gave you a shout out! We really appreciate all of your support. This place was creepy, but so cool! We will definitely return for more! Thank you for watching!!!
I’m glad I subbed!! Cool video! 😀
Thank you! We appreciate you watching! This place was really fun to explore.
Loved the quote at the beginning of this! fantastic explore guys. This was so cool!
Thank you so much for watching. It was such an interesting hike!!
Very cool and neat! Those tunnels at night would be creepy! Some incredible graffiti and memorial (rip). I see soooo many places to day camp as well lol ... Thanks for bringing us along my friends 🤠🌲☕

@@JMExplorations Yessss! Forest bathing is the best 😉🌲🤠🍃
Nice explore Jenn and Marcel!! Starting to catch up on the ones I missed hope you both are well❤
Thank you, Eileen! It is so great to hear from you!!❤️❤️
Wow! Very cool video!
Thank you! It was a really fun place to explore!
Hey you two! Hope all is well
I wonder how many places u explore might' ve been a dumping ground, an animal's den, gang hide out, squatters home, etc...?
Probably all of them with all of the above. We have discovered many interesting things in our explores. Thank you for watching!
Ever consider carrying a Walking stick?
We usually do when we hike anything with elevation.
sorry I’m late, school day (with a long test!)
oh dear mother of the holy code it must have REEKED in there for that reaction from you guys
the slow pan to the amogus (that’s what that little thing is called, also can be known as a “crewmate”) holding a flamethrower has me rolling help
that memorial is what I want to see more of when I see graffiti, not just the standard tag. I want to see artwork that makes one step back and admire it. (and I know for some people that may be someone’s tagging style, because art is subjective)
(marcel, you’ll be fine, I doubt a bat would rest in a tunnel full of light)
oh god way too many bugs on the ceiling
