The Maupin Field Shelter is located in Nelson County, Virginia, approximately 20 miles south of Shenandoah National Park. It was built by the U.S. Forest Service in the 1960s and is maintained by the Tidewater Appalachian Trail Club. The shelter is located just north of the Three Ridges Wilderness area and is a favorite among northbound hikers as the last stop before a visit to the Devil's Backbone Brewery in the Roseland, Virginia.
