The Seth Warner shelter for many people is their first stop on their Long Trail thru hike. The shelter is a framed lean-to built in 1968 with space for 8 people. It is located .2 miles on a spur off the Long Trail and is well marked with white signs in both directions. There is a stream about 400 feet south shelter that serves as the water source. There is a large clearing just north of the shelter that is good for tenting. From the water source to the trail junction is usually a good spot for picking firewood as there is a fire ring and cooking grate in front of the shelter. Be warned that in the summertime, occasional ATV and motorcycle noise from nearby private property can invade your sense of stillness.
WARNING: In the 2007 and 2008 seasons a Black bear has been known to visit the shelter. Please use proper food bagging and hanging techniques.
As with all shelters and camps on the Long Trail, please practice Leave No Trace principles and obey all rules posted in the cabins or shelters.
