A Scenic Escape Just Outside the City

Seven Tubs Nature Area boasts incredible views just minutes from the bustling center of Wilkes-Barre. This 400-acre recreation area is named for a series of pools, or “tubs,” created by glacial meltwater. You’ll also spot Wheelbarrow Run, a stream that carved its way through the bedrock and created a beautiful ravine.

Seven Tubs is home to two hiking trails. The Main Loop is a 0.3-mile trail that leads straight to the tubs and other highlights. The Audubon Loop Trail is a 1.8-mile loop that offers prime views of the stream and surrounding mountains.
