    Default AT Shelters in Conn.

    From ATC: Connecticut – Shelter Closures – Riga and Brassie Brook Shelters (UPDATED 10/05/22)

    CONNECTICUT

    SHELTER CLOSURE

    Alert

    10/05/2022
    Update: Due to unexpected circumstances, Riga and Brassie Brook Shelters (NOBO miles 1,507.1 and 1,508.3) will not be replaced this fall as scheduled. Both shelters are deconstructed and closed until further notice. We anticipate the new shelters will be built and open in June 2023. The tent pads, campsites, and privies all remain open for use.
    Visitors should use caution when walking around the old shelter sites and stay out of areas closed off with caution tape. We will update this notice when we have more information.
