Long Pond Shelter is a rustic, three-sided lean-to located along the Midstate Trail near Long Pond in Rutland, Massachusetts. Perched atop a short hill, it offers a peaceful spot for backpackers seeking a quiet overnight stay. The shelter is accessible via a brief detour from the main trail, with a path that narrows and descends some stairs in front of the shelter to rejoin the woods road. While amenities are minimal, the shelter provides a dry, elevated space to spend the night.
