I was wondering if there is a lean-to at Roaring Brook Falls? I've read some posts that talk about a "haunted" lean-to close to the falls but I don't see the icon on the map. I will be arriving about 1am and wanted to stay at a lean-to that is close to Rt. 73.

That's what I thought. Thanks Jan!"Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams

Giant Mtn. Lean-to
There is no NYS lean-to located on either the Roaring Brook Falls trail, (NY-73) or the Ridge trail, (NY-73) to Giant. However, there is one NYS lean-to located off of the North trail, (Green Mtn.) from NY-9N.
You may have seen a sign with a designated campsite marker directing you to the remote, DEC designated campsites.
Further information can be found in the DEC's Giant Mountain Wilderness Area UMP (2003).

Edit: I just found this on a web site. If you scroll down it shows 1 lean-to for Giant Mountain. http://www.cnyhiking.com/AdirondackLeanTos.htm

Originally posted by Dick View PostFor some reason, I have never been to Roaring Brook Falls. I'm not sure what sign you saw, but the web site you mentioned states one lean-to on Giant Mt. That is, no doubt, the one on the north trail, as mentioned by Sn.Forester. I know that one exists, as I have been there.

Thanks for the the insight from all! Sounds like I will pitch a tent at the campsite located on the W side of Chapel Pond.
