The Upper Lake McDonald Ranger Station in Glacier National Park was a formerly isolated site that became an administrative center with the opening of the Going-to-the-Sun Road. The National Park Service Rustic cabin was typical of the preferred style for western park structures of the period.[2] The ranger station is similar to its counterparts at Belly River and Sherburne, as well as the Polebridge Ranger Station residence.[3]
The district includes the ranger station, a woodshed, boathouse, garage, cabin, fire cache and a pumphouse.[3]
