No Organized Picnicking at Seven Tubs
The Seven Tubs Recreation Area is closed to organized picnicking.
This decision was made to:
- Reduce negative impacts from site compaction and litter
- Protect the forest and geologic formations
- Protect riparian buffers adjacent to Wheelbarrow Run and Laurel Run, both wild trout streams
Alternate picnic locations are available at the Manny Gordon Picnic Area and Moon Lake Recreation Area.
