TheWassillie Trefon Dena'ina Fish Cache is a historically important fish cache (backcountry food storage structure) that is now listed on theNational Register of Historic Places. It qualified for this designation partly because it was a uniquely well-preserved example of traditionalDena'ina Athabascan fish-caching buildings in the vicinity of LakesClark andIliamna.[2][3] It is about 9 by 10 feet (2.7 m × 3.0 m) in dimension, and is set on poles that are intended to be difficult for animals to climb. It was built without nails or spikes.[4][2]
The cache was originally built in about 1920 at a location on Miller Creek and has been moved several times; it is now located near theLake Clark National Park and Preserve's visitor center.[4]
