CCC Shelter, Mountain hut in Pokagon State Park, United States.
The CCC Shelter features stone fireplaces at both ends and remains open on its longer east and west sides, offering protection from weather conditions.
The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed this shelter during 1935 and 1936 as part of the New Deal programs addressing unemployment in the Great Depression.
The structure exemplifies National Park Service rustic architecture through its use of locally sourced materials and traditional construction methods from the 1930s.
Located at coordinates 41.709883, -85.034903, the shelter provides space for winter ski equipment rentals and hosts regular community gatherings throughout the year.
Individual stones used in the construction were manually shaped by CCC workers using mallets and chisels, creating precise fits in the fireplace structures.
