Adirondack Shelters
The Adirondack Shelters are three sided wood shelters offered
as an alternative to backpacking. Permits are issued without charge
at the visitor center on a first-come, first-served basis. Permits
may not be reserved in advance. The shelter may be occupied for
only the length of time designated, not more than 7 consecutive
days, or 14 days in the year. There are two shelters which accommodate
a maximum of 5 people each. Each shelter has a fire circle and access
to a pit toilet. Drinking water must be carried in and trash carried
out. Tents are not permitted except inside the shelter, allowing
minimal impact on the area. These 1 1/2 to 3 mile hike in (distance
depends on parking location) shelters are open all year.
