Moosilauke Ravine Lodge

The lodge is open from May to mid-November, with two weeks starting in the end of August reserved for the Dartmouth First-Year Trips.

[1] The staff provides a family-style dinner every night by reservation only, open to community members, Appalachian Trail thru-hikers, tourists, and Dartmouth professors.

[4] The old main lodge structure, built on the site of old horse stables, was completed in 1938 under the direction of woodsman C. Ross McKenney from native spruce cut on the mountain.

It was saved from ruin by Al Merrill, Director of Outdoor Programs and ski coach, who championed its value for students and the community.

In addition to providing showers to hikers, the front desk rents out linens and sells some basic hiking supplies.
