Backcountry Huts
Backcountry huts -- used by hikers and backpackers -- offer hikers an easy and comfortable way to stay overnight in the backcountry. They offer convenience (you don’t have to carry in or set up a tent), shelter (they provide protection from the elements and insects) and some warmth (you are indoors, out of the wind and some huts offer woodstoves). Full-service huts also serve meals. The two types of backcountry facilities are full-service and self-service huts.
There are 16 full-service backcountry huts across the northeast. See below for information on every full-service backcountry hut (that is accessed primarily by foot and sits at least a mile from the trailhead).
