This proposed trail will travel through the wooded mountains south of the City of Wilkes-Barre. Users will find this a quiet and shady section of forested trail. The highlight of this section will be the Seven Tubs Nature Area, a series of large pools carved by the free flowing water of Wheelbarrow Run. Seven Tubs Nature Area is accessible by a spur trail for hiking only, no bikes allowed.
