Basic 6-person shelter design with picnic table balanced in the short front-yard. Privy to the right. I didn't check out the spring in early June 2005, but it was said to be pretty mediocre. The next reliable water south is Helveys Mill Shelter, but that is half a mile off-trail. To the north you cross Kimberling Creek, but it is very wide, slow-moving, and downstream from a timber mill. At the road go left 0.4 miles to Trent's Grocery or continue for another mile or two to lovely Dismal Creek Falls.

Water source is a PITA trickle, but not really any other options nearby. I was here with two hikers named Jaybird and Inchworm in June. There was a very friendly butterfly that joined us for dinner, perching whoever's arm or leg was most convenient. Also a nice sunset filtered through the trees.
