About
US Forest Service campground. ¿Built and maintained by the Dartmouth Outing Club, this 8-person hexagonal shelter is located on a 0. 2 mile spur path off Kodiak Trail (Appalachian Trail) 1. 6 miles south of the south peak of Mt. Cube. A privy is provided. The water source is a small brook at a spur path junction and may be unreliable. Pack out what you pack in. Not reservable through Recreation.gov, so plan on first-come, first-served; check with the ranger district for current conditions and fees.
