The Mole Harbor Shelter Lookout/Cabin is a historic backcountry shelter in the Admiralty Island National Monument, part of the Tongass National Forest in Southeast Alaska. It is one of a number of such facilities built by Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) on the Admiralty Island Canoe Route between 1933 and 1937. This cabin, a three-sided Adirondack-style log structure with shake walls and roof, was built in 1936. The cabin, situated overlooking a tidal flat near the head of Mole Harbor on the east side of the island, continues to be maintained by the Forest Service. It is accessible via water, or by a trail from Lake Alexander.[2]
The cabin was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.[1]
