Built in 1926 near the center of Lassen Volcanic National Park in California's Shasta County, the Summit Lake Ranger Station (also called the Summit Lake Patrol Cabin) stands as one of the National Park Service's first three structures in the park. This log building measures roughly 20 by 30 feet and exemplifies the rustic architectural style favored by the Park Service, featuring an asymmetric gable roof with a long pitch descending to a low rear wall. The interior contains a living area, kitchen, and two bedrooms; a formerly open porch has been enclosed to provide bathroom facilities. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, it remains a contributing structure within the Lassen Volcanic National Park Highway Historic District.
