CT | Closure

23 DAYS AGO

11/05/2025

The Mt. Algo Shelter area is closed until further notice (NOBO mile 1,472.9). This includes the side trail to the site, the shelter, all campsites, the privy, and the wash pit. There are a large number dead trees that pose a very high risk to safety at this site (also called hazard trees). These dead trees are highly unpredictable; large branches and whole trees can snap and come down at any time. The area will remain closed until these trees are addressed and the area is cleared of debris.

Nearby overnight sites that are open:

  • Schaghticoke Mountain Campsite (NOBO mile 1,470.0)
  • Stewart Hollow Shelter (NOBO mile 1,480.4)

Always look up before stopping or picking a campsite along the A.T. Do not camp near dead, damaged, or diseased standing trees.
