About this place

The Summit Trail Shelter offers visitors a rustic shelter, beautiful scenery and an escape from the elements. The shelter was primarily designed for use by hikers and other non-motorized users in the summer months; however, it can be accessed in the winter by snowshoe or cross-country skiing. The shelter is primitive with no running water, no electricity and no cell coverage. There is no woodstove in the shelter though it is insulated and provides an escape from inclement weather. The Summit Trail Shelter is not accessible to motorized use in the summer or winter. The Summit Trail Shelter is available for use on a first come-first served basis. It is not available for reservation and is free of charge.
