The Wendell Forest Lean-to is a shelter site close to the main entrance of Wendell State Forest. Nearby the trail skirts Ruggles Pond, a scenic area for hikers, picnickers, and other recreationists. The land is managed by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation.
The lean-to is a three-sided shelter in an open area surrounded by woods. Water sources are available within a short distance.
