According to All Trails: Approx 0.3 Miles and takes and average of 10 minutes. (This is only if you do the loop around the main Seven Tubs Attraction Area) There is a full loop trail around the whole forest and surrounding area which I did, following the Yellow Blaze markings. You can do it within 30ish minutes if you're just going for a leisurely walk, but there are spots you will want to stop and just absorb the splendor of your surroundings! Trail is easy to follow but come Summer, will have some dense and overgrown stretches in the wooded areas. Summertime will be very busy and crowded after 10am, best time is first thing in the morning between 6am-10am.

Facts:
Seven Tubs Recreation Area is a 400-acre site located in Plains Township, within the Pinchot State Forest. The main feature of the area is a stream called Wheelbarrow Run that flows through a ravine where a series of large potholes or “tubs” are gouged out of the underlying bedrock. The cascade of water has attracted visitors to the site for generations. Surrounding Wheelbarrow is a forest composed of plants and animals typical of northeastern Pennsylvania. Hiking trails lead to and around the Tubs area allowing visitors to enjoy the diverse natural life and hilly terrain of the area.

Seven Tubs Recreation Area is accessible by a spur trail for hiking only, no bikes. No, picnicking, camping or hunting permitted in Seven Tubs.
