Description for Fontana Dam Shelter
Description by Youngblood
The lakeside Fontana Hilton is 162.8 miles from Springer, sleeps 20 with double bunk style platforms, has openings on two sides, a view of the lake and is accessable to restrooms, showers and pay phones. They don't call it the Fontana Hilton for nothing!

Was there November 30 (2003) by way of minivan.
Saw some trail angel treats someone had left, but I assumed (wrongly) that all the SOBOers were done for the season. Othewise, we would have added to the treats. Poked around, a very nice shelter indeed, but never saw any showers. Any idea where they are? The restrooms were open, but the visitors center at the dam and everything else was all locked up tight.

Showers are in the south end of the dam's visitor center (opposite end from the actual displays), about a mile roadwalk further north on the trail.
