Review & FAQ:

The Seven Tubs are potholes that have been formed by melting glaciers eroding the sandstone rocks. Through the ages the Wheelbarrow stream has cut canyons and gorges through the landscape. There are 60 wildflower species and a variety of trees in the area, which cast shade on some of the hiking trails. Birdwatchers will see game birds, migratory and more common species. Deer, weasels, opossums and foxes also inhabit the area. Although not seen often, the black bear is potentially dangerous. Hikers should also watch out for loose rocks and slippery moss. Parts of the trail at the Seven Tubs Recreation Area are wheelchair friendly. Stay at The Woodlands Inn and Resort and you'll be close to everything Wilkes-Barre has to offer.
