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. 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.
