About
US Forest Service campground. The Beaver Brook Shelter sits at 3750 ft on the northern flank of Asquam Ridge which extends east from Mount Moosilauke. The shelter is 1.5 miles from NH Rte. 112 in Kinsman Notch just off the steep Beaver Brook Trail (Appalachian Trail). The shelter accommodates approximately 8 people and provides a sweeping view of the White Mountains to the north. The campsites also includes 2 platforms (total capacity of 9), and a composting privy. A side trail leads to a small stream which may not be reliable. 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.
