The Devil's Acre Lean-To is a lean-to shelter in the Hunter-West Kill Wilderness of the Catskills in New York State. The shelter is located where the Devil's Path and the Hunter Mountain Trail converge. While most shelters in the Catskills have a short spur trail to access them, this one is directly on the trail, which can make for noisy mornings when early morning hikers pass through. The lean-to is located very close to the turnoff for the Southwest Hunter Mountain (a.k.a. Leavitt Peak) herd path. This is a popular stay for anyone traversing the Devil's Path or seeking to get the two Catskill 3,500 ft. required peaks.
As with much of the Devil's Path, there is no water to speak of near this lean-to, so hikers should plan accordingly. There are no privies at this shelter.
