The Alexander Lake Shelter Cabin is a historic backcountry shelter in the Admiralty Island National Monument. It is located at the eastern tip of Lake Alexander, on the Admiralty Island Canoe Route. The cabin is a three-sided Adirondack log shelter made of peeled logs covered with wood shakes. It was constructed by a Civilian Conservation Corps crew in 1935, and received maintenance from the United States Forest Service as recently as 1980.[2]
The cabin was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.[1]
