About Ketchikan

Ketchikan is a compact Southeast Alaska city on the Inside Passage, known as the Salmon Capital of the World. Ships typically use one of four downtown berths along the waterfront, within easy walking distance of the main attractions, though some call at Ward Cove, which needs a shuttle ride into town. Most visitors walk Creek Street's boardwalk, see Native totem poles, and visit the Southeast Alaska Discovery Center.

Others book a Misty Fjords flightseeing trip, watch a lumberjack show, or join a wildlife excursion. Rain can arrive quickly, so waterproof layers are worth bringing ashore.

Things To See in Ketchikan

Creek Street Colorful wooden boardwalk buildings on stilts above a salmon stream.
Misty Fjords National Monument Glacier-carved fjords reached by seaplane or boat tour.
Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show Axe throwing, log rolling, and tree climbing in a lively show.
Southeast Alaska Discovery Center Downtown museum covering regional history, ecology, and Native artifacts.
Salmon Market Downtown seafood shop known for smoked salmon and salmon jerky.
Saxman Native Village Totem pole carvers at work and traditional Tlingit dance.
