The Hasselborg Lake North Shelter Cabin is a historic backcountry shelter in the Admiralty Island National Monument, part of Tongass National Forest in Southeast Alaska. The three-sided Adirondack-style log cabin, of which at best ruins survive today, was built in 1935 by a Civilian Conservation Corps work crew as part of a canoe route across the island. It is located at the northeast corner of Hasselborg Lake, where a poorly maintained or abandoned trail leads north to Windfall Harbor. [2]

The cabin site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. [1] At that time the cabin site had been flooded due to beaver activity, and its roof was failing due to an extended period of poor maintenance. [2]
