Distin Lake Shelter Cabin, Admiralty Island

The Distin Lake Shelter Cabin is a historic backcountry shelter in the Admiralty Island National Monument. It is located on the northwest shore of Distin Lake, on the Admiralty Island Canoe Route. The cabin, originally a three-sided Adirondack log shelter, was constructed by a Civilian Conservation Corps crew in 1932. In 1960, a fourth wall, wooden floor, and bunk beds were added to the structure. There is a window, and the front door is one recycled from a theater; it is labeled "Balcony" on the inside. ()
