Moose Creek Ranger Cabin No. 19, also known as Moose Creek Patrol Cabin and Moose Creek Shelter Cabin, is a log shelter in the National Park Service Rustic style in Denali National Park. The cabin is part of a network of shelters for patrolling park rangers throughout the park. It is a standard design by the National Park Service Branch of Plans and Designs and was built in 1935.[2][lower-alpha 1] The cabin has five separate log dog kennels, also to a standard Park Service design,[4] as well as an elevated food cache.[5]

The cabin was the last patrol cabin built in Denali.[3]
