Seven Tubs Recreation Area

Embark on a touring cycling adventure through the Seven Tubs Recreation Area loop from Laurel Run, a moderate route that offers glimpses of natural beauty. You will cover 10.9 miles (17.5 km) with a total elevation gain of 1438 feet (438 metres), typically completed in about 1 hour and 30 minutes. As you pedal, you'll experience lush forests and scenic viewpoints of wooded mountains, especially vibrant during autumn, while following the serene Laurel Run waterway.

When planning your visit, remember that bicycling is not permitted on the hiking trails within the immediate Seven Tubs Recreation Area itself; stick to the designated cycling paths. This touring cycling loop features mostly paved surfaces, making it suitable for road bikes. Consider visiting during the fall to witness the most vibrant foliage.

This route is situated within State Game Lands Number 292, an area known for its diverse plant life and unique geological formations. While the famous 'tubs' are primarily for hikers, your cycling journey provides a distinct perspective of the broader natural environment. Future developments, such as sections of the D&L Trail, are enhancing cycling accessibility in this wider region.
