This is an older CCC-built shelter 0.3 miles east of the AT. It's mostly downhill from the AT to the shelter, but not too steep. The shelter spur path is actually an older route of the AT. The shelter is in a nice location, with alot of level ground for tenting and a stream flowing almost in front of the shelter. Unfortunately, the stream sometimes runs dry in late summer and fall. In May 2003 the water supply was very adequate. The shelter has some large gaps between the wall boards, so may not keep you dry in a blowing rain. The roof is in good shape though and the shelter well cared-for.
