Lower Windy Creek Ranger Cabin No. 15 is a historic backcountry shelter in Denali National Park and Preserve, Alaska, built in 1932 to a standard National Park Service rustic design. Constructed of peeled logs sealed with oakum and concrete chinking, the cabin features a medium-pitch gable roof clad in corrugated metal and shiplap. The ranger station sits roughly 500 feet east of Mile 324 on the Alaska Railroad and is accompanied by a complex of seven log dog shelters positioned about 70 feet north of the main cabin, along with a log cache and outhouse—all following standardized Park Service designs added shortly after the cabin's completion. The structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
