We have stayed at the park for Christmas Eve the past two years. Had the Adirondack shelters to ourselves each year.

firewood is available but you have to donate some cash, split it and haul it to your shelter. It's always been seasoned well and provided plenty of heat for the shelter during our winter stays.

Very quiet and no light pollution for a town or city, Providing great moonlit nights.

Fees are minimal

rail trail to walk or ride just a few miles over the hill and the cross country skiing trails come directly past the shelter.
