Below are most of the Public Lean-Tos that are in the Adirondack High Peak Region. All of these lean-tos are public, and need no reservation to stay in them.
If you would like trail descriptioins to any of these lean-to's, please go to our Trail Descriptions page. if you don't see a trail description to the lean-to that you want, just let us know by Contacting Us and we will do our best to get a description up for you.
These lean-tos work on a first come first serve basis. Please use common courtesy when it comes to other backpackers and the lean-tos. If the lean-to that you wanted to stay in has someone else in it, there usually are designated campsites near if not next to the lean-to. A rule of thumb to think about before you backpack out to use a lean-to, always prepare as if it is already taken. Don't be one of those backpackers who don't bring a tent or shelter because you think the lean-to is always open!
