Russell Field Shelter is a reservation only backcountry shelter off of the Appalachian Trail in the Smoky Mountains. The shelter has a water source a couple hundred meters downhill from the sleeping area. Like other shelters in the park, this area is heavily frequented by bears so you should be prepared to hang bags if you decide to stay the night.
