Buck Hill Shelter is a rustic, three-sided lean-to located along the Midstate Trail in Spencer, Massachusetts. Nestled within Spencer State Forest, the shelter sits atop Buck Hill, a 1,014-foot drumlin offering serene woodland surroundings. The shelter is pretty much right off the main Midstate Trail. While it is very basic, the shelter provides a dry, elevated space to rest. There's no water here, so be sure to plan accordingly!
