North Fork Shelter Cabin is located approximately 18 trail miles (6.2 km) from Eagle Summit Wayside on the Pinnell Mountain National Recreation Trail on the back side of a hill. Conversely, it is 9 miles from the Twelvemile Summit Wayside. This small cabin is available on a first-come, first-served basis and is primarily intended as an emergency shelter. The cabin includes a water catchment system for collecting rain and melting snow; water should be treated before cooking or drinking.
From the Twelvemile Summit Wayside, milepost 85.5 on Steese HIghway, go 9 miles northest on the Pinnell Mountain National Recreation Trail.
Quiet, lovely walk to the river. About half a mile, flat. Sometimes very wet when it rains!
Well kept trails and gorgeous scenery. Couldn't ask for a better place close to home for a nice little hike.
It’s beautiful this time of year with the golden leaves blanketing the frozen ground.
