About this property

The Three Lakes Patrol Cabin was built in 1934 in Mount Rainier National Park as a district ranger station. The structure was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. The rustic log cabin resides near the park's Three Lakes and is a single-room building featuring exposed log beam gables, rafters, and walls with saddle notch corners. A storage shed is built on the front exterior and the cabin rests on a stone foundation. The interior is mostly unadorned and features exposed log beams. At the time of the NRHP nomination, the structure was noted to be in fair condition yet representative of ranger patrol stations constructed throughout Mt. Rainier National Park. No longer occupied on a full-time basis, the Three Lakes Patrol Cabin is used temporarily particularly during hunting season or as a shelter for backcountry patrols by park rangers.
