Adirondack Shelters

Well maintained facilities. About wood for fires and comfortable to sleep in with a pad and sleeping bag

Always a wonderful hike, and overnight expecially winter.

The hiking trail that leads to the Adirondack shelters is well marked. It was gorgeous with all the changing leaves as well. It’s an easy hike with very little change in elevation. I was fortunate to find that someone had left enough wood for a fire to last through the evening. There are two benches near the fire to relax by. The neighboring shelter is far enough away and also surrounded by trees, that you can barely make it its position- which is nice if you’re looking for solitude. This was my second stay here and it was very enjoyable.

Had a great time. Parking lot was easy to find and the hike up was well cleared and marked. Shelter was nice with a few communal supplies left by others.

We underestimated the hike and overpacked. Site was beautiful and slept well. Bathroom was scary. Sadly we had no dry firewood but we’ll bring some next time. Definitely worth the 8 bucks.

Adirondack and the campsite were awesome. Great weather mean we had a awesome time hiking, close to the waterfalls, remote enough to be alone but close enough to make a quick weekend.

Pleasant hike (for those of us with injuries) and the shelters themselves are well built and comfortable.

Beautiful and remote for a hike-in site, more suitable for equestrian use. Some approaches are rugged trails, but they are well marked; I was able to stay on trails at night for three miles. Muddy after rains, but fewer mosquitoes then, so it’s a toss-up as to which is preferable. Less rugged trails had horse manure but rugged sections were free of deposits. Shelters are profoundly dirty and smelly, but welcome for shade and drying out after long, heavily burdened hikes. The northern shelter is less shaded and closer to noise from passing road traffic. Bring a broom and washcloths if you can. Bats sleep in the rafters in the daytime, but are shy of people, so take it as a compliment if they put up with you for a few hours!

Everything was absolutely wonderful! There were FOUR rolls of toilet paper! And wood for a fire every night! I appreciated the information the East Side trails provided about the ecosystems, landforms, and history in the park and their corresponding brochures. It was also wonderful to see accessible trails, such as the Spicebush Trail.
