Seven Tubs Nature Area is known locally as The Tubs or Whirlpool Canyon. This outstanding geological phenomenon features seven large "potholes" or "tubs" gouged out of the hard, gray sandstone of the Pocono Formation by Wheelbarrow Run.  Many geologists believe that the tubs were formed during the last Ice Age more than 10,000 years ago, when the force and volume of a rock-filled glacial melt water stream etched the seven, tub-shaped potholes and gorge into the underlying rock.

Picnic Areas - There is a designated picnic area with a half-dozen picnic tables.

Hiking and Mountain Biking - miles of endless trails abound.

The moist ravine along Wheelbarrow Run is shaded by eastern hemlock, red maple, chestnut oak and black birch. Large-leaved deciduous or mountain holly grows close to the ground.  Wildflowers include Indian cucumber-root, Canada mayflower, pink lady's slipper, Canada lily, whorled aster, jack-in-the-pulpit, bunchberry and Indian pipe.

The scrub land vegetation on the exposed slopes northeast of Wheelbarrow Run ravine is a result of human-set, periodic fires that have swept over the area. The area is dominated by bear oak and pitch pine which thrive in dry, open, infertile places, as do the shrubs-sheep and mountain laurels and early low blueberry-and the dominant ground covers (bracken fern, wintergreen and trailing arbutus).

Animals
Black-capped chickadees, rufous-sided towhees, ovenbirds, wood thrushes, ruby-throated hummingbirds, black-billed and yellow-billed cuckoos and several woodpecker and warbler species are easily seen in spring and summer. Mammal species include black bears, white-tailed deer, red and gray squirrels, eastern chipmunks, raccoons, beavers, woodchucks, striped skunks and snowshoe hares.
