Absolutely amazing view of the Hudson River. Two fireplaces at shelter entrance. Tough hike up the Blue Trail to get here. Water source 0.3 miles from shelter at junction of Blue and Yellow trails. Surrounding campsites have room for about 20 backpackers.

Great hike up to this shelter! Beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and you can even see the NYC skyline from the summit. Ample space to drop camp if you're thru hiking as well. Shelter has a two stoves inside.

Great shelter, with a beautiful view of the river. If you are lucky enough to get a clear day and occupy the lean-to, the view is up there with the best in the park. You can see Haverstraw and with a keep eye, you can make out points of the city in the distance. It is a sold 3 mile hike to make it to this point from Anthony Wayne. If you get there too late and the lean-to is occupied, there are plenty of areas around this site to set up shop and take in the outdoors for an overnight camp.

A nice shelter to stay at with a great view of the Hudson and on clear days the city skyline. Can be busy at times and there is no easily accessible water source till you get down the mountain.
