Nice easy hike
Love the place. Have spent more than 20 nights there due to proximity to Tuxedo and Sloatsburg train stations. Shallow creek for water in fall, winter, and spring, it dries up in summer so you'll need to carry water in or purify at Lake Sebago. Hang your food, there has been bear activity around the shelter. Insect repellent is a must in all seasons but winter.
This is a great shelter with many campsites spread out near by.
Fun and easy trail/hike from the road, about 45 minutes. Not the greatest of views or anything really special about it. It offers plenty of space to camp around but also, it gets a little crowed on the weekends.
Another old shelter for hikers and explorers alike in the middle of Harriman State Park. Hundreds of years ago these shelters were used to protect those prospecting the land. This one was housed by a dutch doctor whom would provide questionable medical assistance to those who needed it.
