Things To Do In Ketchikan
Enjoy beautiful views overlooking Knudson Cove Marina and Clover Passage, while watching marine life, seals, sea lions, and eagles around the cove.
Don’t Miss These Adventures
This is the Salmon Capital of Alaska for a reason: king, red, silver, pink and dog salmon all run through these waters, alongside halibut, cod, Dungeness crab and spotted prawns. Cast a line from the dock, charter a boat for the day, or head inland — Ward Cove Lake and the streams nearby hold rainbow, cutthroat, brook and steelhead trout, just minutes from where you're staying.
Some places are hard to describe without sounding like a postcard. Misty Fjords is one of them — granite walls, hanging waterfalls, and wilderness in every direction, a short boat or seaplane ride from Ketchikan.
Humpback whales breaching off the bow, bald eagles working the shoreline, sea lions hauled out on the rocks — Southeast Alaska's wildlife isn't tucked away in a preserve, it's part of the daily view from the water.
Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian heritage runs deep here — see it up close at Saxman Native Village, Totem Bight, and the Totem Heritage Center, home to the world's largest collection of totem poles.
Some days call for a paddle, some for a trail, some for open water. Ketchikan gives you all three: sea kayaking through Clover Pass, zipline routes through old-growth rainforest, and boat access out to Prince of Wales Island whenever you're ready to go further.
Enjoy boat tours, scenic drives, float plane tours and unforgettable photo opportunities around every corner.
