Great place to stop while thru or section hiking the AT. Spent a cold night in November here while section hiking NOBO. Went to sleep listening to rain and sleet on the tin roof, thankful I was indoors in a solid concrete block structure with a door and a roof. Room for 8 or so, with five bunks and one platform. There's a picnic table inside that must have been hauled inside in pieces and reconstructed. Great view into Burke's Valley just outside the shelter, and a decent privy. Water is a bit down the hill to the south. If NOBO, bring water from the spring by the pond. Camping in the woods just to the north, or in the big field around the shelter.
