Fingerboard Shelter
The shelter is only 350 feet off the AT. Capacity is about 8 people. Water is available from Lake Tiorati (0.5 mile to the east on blue-blazed Hurst Trail) or from a water faucet (summer only) at the Tiorati Circle (0.3 mile east of A.T. crossing of Arden Valley Road, 1.4 miles north of shelter). There is no fee. The shelter has two fireplaces, but finding firewood will require some walking.
Fingerboard Shelter’s stone structure was built in 1928.
