Any idea how deep the water is in the tunnel?

I fished at Castleberry Bridge growing up and didn't know this was there.

Varies from 1'-3'...... it is walkable when the river flow is slow.

I will have to check it out one day. If you don't like confined space try 1/2 mile in a 48" RCP 60' down. (Richland creek tunnel). Had to fill the space between the rock and the pipe with grout.
