Where We Go

Seven Tubs Recreation Area | Scenic waterfalls & hiking near Wilkes-Barre

Just minutes from downtown Wilkes-Barre, Seven Tubs Recreation Area offers a peaceful natural retreat filled with stunning scenery, hiking trails, and rich geological history. Located within Pinchot State Forest, this 400-acre outdoor destination is named for the series of glacial potholes—or “tubs”—formed thousands of years ago by flowing meltwater. These naturally carved rock basins, filled by the rushing Wheelbarrow Run stream, create a cascading series of pools and waterfalls that attract visitors year-round.
