Seven Tubs Nature Area, a.k.a. Seven Tubs Recreation Area, is publicly accessible area owned by the Pennsylvania state government, which may be reached via a side road connecting to Pennsylvania highway 115 a few miles south of Wilkes Barre. I wanted to check the place out before returning to Maryland. I parked in a small lot along the side road, which was closed further down, and found an unmarked trail leading to a creek. Some exploration led me to what used to be a road along the same creek. I never found any marked trails, so I don't believe I ever saw the natural features for which the place is named. Although I took this hike in the morning, when it was not too hot out, I still got very sweaty from the humidity, and soon decided to head homeward.
There was one pool along the creek I found. I suppose you could call it a tub, or maybe just a basin.
Here's a not-very-well-focused shot down the creek.
This used to be a bridge.
Here's the old road. The creek is to the left.
If I ever return, maybe the road won't be closed, and I'll get to see if there are any trailheads beyond where I parked.
