The Toklat Ranger Station No. 4, also known as Pearson Cabin, is a log shelter in the National Park Service Rustic style in Denali National Park located near the main branch of the Toklat River at Mile 53.8, west of Park Road. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1] It is a standard design by the National Park Service Branch of Plans and Designs and was built in 1927.[2][3][4]

It is significant as the oldest patrol cabin in Denali park that was built entirely by park rangers, and is likely the only surviving one.[5]
