Update

06/03/2025

The privy at Tri-Corner Knob Shelter is closed due to a large hazard tree leaning over the privy (NOBO mile 223.7). Hikers should stay away from the privy area and instead dig a proper cathole to bury their feces (a proper cathole is 6-8 inches deep and at least 200 feet from campsites, shelters, water sources, and trails).

We will update this notice when sawyers have removed the tree and the privy has been reopened.
