North Neva
Shelter Open
The North Neva Shelter is available for public use after USDA Forest Service sawyers removed a fallen spruce tree from the roof overhang. Wind in January caused the large spruce to be thrown onto the corner of the three-sided shelter.
The Sitka Ranger District is still assessing when the damage to the roof can be repaired, but has determined the facility safe to use in its current condition. The shelter is located approximately 20 miles north of Sitka.
For information, contact recreation specialist Mike Mullin at 907-747-4274.
