About
Tucker-Johnson Shelter is a backcountry shelter on the Long Trail in Green Mountain National Forest, located just north of Maine Junction near Sherburne Pass. Originally built in 1969 and lost to fire in 2011, the shelter was rebuilt by the Green Mountain Club in fall 2024. The new shelter replicates the original design by 1970s GMC President George Pearlstein and features wood-frame construction with space for 6-8 campers and a generous roof overhang for weather protection. The site includes a new fully accessible moldering privy and a designated tenting area for overflow camping. The shelter is named for Fred H. Tucker of Boston, a longtime Green Mountain Club member, and Otto Johnson of Proctor, Vermont, who provided funds for the original shelter's construction.
Directions
From U.S. Route 4, head north on the Long Trail for approximately 1.4 miles to reach the shelter.
