    Hiking

    The Hogback Ridge Shelter is one of the many maintained sleeping shelters on the Appalachian Trail. There is a privy near the shelter and a water source only a few hundred feet away. This is an excellent picnic site or overnight camping spot. Please follow LNT practices, and don't attract animals to the shelter area by leaving food and trash behind.
