The Natchaug Forest Lumber Shed is a historic utility building in Natchaug State Forest in Eastford, Connecticut. It is located at the southern end of a small maintenance yard on the east side of Kingsbury Road in the heart of the forest. It is a vernacular post-and-beam structure with vertical board siding. Its north-facing front has five equipment bays with double-leaf wooden doors. It is the only surviving structure, of a large number built, in the forest by crews of the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]
