This shelter area just off Route 653 is one of eight strategically placed along the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail. Each shelter area has five Adirondack-style lean-to shelters, room for up to 25 tents, bathrooms, fire pits, and garbage cans. Overnight stays at shelter areas must be reserved ahead of time with Laurel Ridge State Park.
At this shelter area there is a water pump with untreated water in case you need to fill up your water supply.
