As of today, Overmountain Shelter has been closed until further notice after U.S. Forest Service engineers found it to be structurally unsound.#AppalachianTrail hikers are advised to use Stan Murray Shelter two miles to the south, and the fields around Overmountain Shelter are still open for tent camping.
part of the movie "the winter people" was filmed here in 1987. i thru'd in 1988 so that was a topic of discussion at the shelter. 30 years later i don't know if that is still common knowledge as it was back then.
this is the large red barn that was converted to a shelter in the roan highlands.
