Elevation3750 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryThe cabins occupy a grassy clearing surrounded by red spruce, yellow birch, beech, maple, and cherry. Long ridges clothed in mixed deciduous forest press in from the sides, and a pond sits nearby. The site lies in narrow valley terrain typical of this part of the Wilderness, where elevation and forest canopy create cool pockets even in summer. Fall foliage turns the ridges orange and red, and visibility improves once leaves drop.

Lodging & AccommodationsThe main cabin accommodates guests with a kitchen and a full-size bed, and there are two additional sleeping cabins with bunk beds. "Each sleeping cabin contains two sets of bunk beds, while the main cabin contains one full-size bed for a total capacity of 10 people."

Programs & ActivitiesThere is no mention of cultural or educational programs.
