Delving into the Phalen Creek Tunnel - Urban Exploring Minnesota (S5-EI) [4K]

In the season 5 premiere of Urban Exploring Minnesota, Isaiah is joined by several new explorers for a three-part exploration of the Phalen Creek Tunnel. The tunnel was originally built to entomb the creek and provide drainage for the St. Paul Railyard, but many additional sections have been added to provide storm water drainage for the local businesses and neighborhoods. Join us on our longest exploration video yet, and experience another part of the underground world beneath the Twin Cities.

    How did you all enjoy the video? What were some things you liked? What things didn't you like? What can we do better? We know what we'd like to improve for our next video, but we wanna hear some suggestions from our audience. Tell us what we should work on in order to make the next video better.

    There's been pushes to restore this creek back above the ground (at least certain segments) since they've already begun restoring natural prairies where the now-mostly-defunct railroad used to be. Lot of cool art by Wundr down there!

    Yeah, the flare in an enclosed space certainly wasn't the brightest idea lol, but thankfully the ventilation was sufficient enough and the fumes were blown out steadily. Thanks for your comment and for watching, we're always looking to improve our videos, and it's always nice to hear constructive feedback!

    Thank you so much 🙏 as a kid I thought Jacques Cousteau was showing us all the last hidden exciting places, and by the time I was an adult, there’d be nothing left to explore! But this is like re-exploring, or for me it’s brand new and exciting 🙏 I really want to go see some of these places but I’d like to go with people who’ve been there and have some experience in this to be safe. I do photography and videography too.

    18:48 You guys found the most DANGOUS spot in the storm drains. This is a Sanitary Sewer Overflow Flush Drain Tunnel. 20:01 There is 2 sets of steel doors. The 1st set is what you guys saw and the 2nd set is just 3ft behind the 1st set. If they opened them up while you guys were in there you would have died. I've been there when the 1st set was open.

    Have you been in the tunnels under downtown Minneapolis? I think it may have been closed for the past 4 years but it's under the Pillsbury mill I believe and the small park along the river by stone arch bridge. Some of the coolest photos I've ever got in the area, would love to get back in there

    I've been urban exploring for 3 years here now and have never heard of any tunnels under there. Sure, there are ones that don't go far at all underneath the mill area, you can see them from the banks next to the stone arch bridge. But curious where you heard about those? Thanks!

    What are those metal doors that hold water for? What would be the point of holding water back?

    2 жыл бұрын

    To be honest with you, we're not entirely sure what those doors are for. We're assuming that it's intended to hold water back, or rather keep water inside in case of flooding or if the drain were to somehow become obstructed and water were to back up. We're still curious ourselves as to what lies on the other side of those doors. Good question.

    Are drainage tunnels really a source of dangerous gas? Like what are the specifics...people love to shoot words here and there and it's good to be cautious...but drainage pipes/tunnels...not sewer...any true concerns?

    Sometimes active sewer systems run parallel or connect to storm drains and gases can leak in. We noticed a horrible odor and saw garbage and what looked like congealed toilet paper in a particular part of this tunnel so we were worried that we were near a sewer line, but thankfully not. Most storm drains have little to no inherent threats other than flooding during storms, and maybe some structural problems, but for the most part, they're relatively safe to explore. Thanks for watching and commenting!
