Seven Tubs Recreation Area is a 400-acre site located in Plains Township, within the Pinchot State Forest. The main feature of the area is a stream called Wheelbarrow Run that flows through a ravine where a series of large potholes or “tubs” are gouged out of the underlying bedrock. The cascade of water has attracted visitors to the site for generations. Surrounding Wheelbarrow is a forest composed of plants and animals typical of northeastern Pennsylvania. Hiking trails lead to and around the Tubs area allowing visitors to enjoy the diverse natural life and hilly terrain of the area.
Seven Tubs Recreation Area is accessible by a spur trail for hiking only, no bikes. No, picnicking, camping or hunting permitted in 7 Tubs
