View Full Version : NC Question
Planning to be in the vicinity of Max Patch this July, and I'm seeing discrepancies in the location of Roaring Fork Shelter in the ATC Guidebook vs. the ATC map. Has this shelter been moved? Where is it currently? Thanks to all.

Brand spanking new shelter. The old one was located more toward Lemon Gap and was pretty bad off. The new one is located just under a mile after crossing the forest road north of Max Patch. It is located a couple hundred feet off trail but very visible. Water source is located south of the shelter next to the ramp.
There are some strong bear activity in the area especially around the shelter so be careful.
The guide has it located correctly. ATC maps do show the old location.
Thanks, folks...And thanks for the bear warning. I'll be sure to hang my food high.
