About Ketchikan
Ketchikan, known as Alaska's First City, is a vibrant community nestled at the southern end of the Inside Passage. Surrounded by the Tongass National Forest, the city offers unparalleled access to the natural beauty of Southeast Alaska. Visitors can explore the historic Creek Street, a boardwalk built over the water, once home to a bustling red-light district and now filled with shops and art galleries.
Beyond its charming downtown, Ketchikan is a gateway to outdoor adventures. From fishing charters and whale watching tours to hiking trails and kayaking expeditions, there's something for every nature enthusiast. The area is also rich in Native Alaskan culture, with opportunities to learn about the traditions and artistry of the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian peoples through totem parks and cultural centers.
