Book early for flights, ferries and roomsMake the most of your visit by planning thoroughly, particularly if you’re visiting during our busy summer season. Here are a couple of helpful tips.

• Book transportation well in advance. Seats on Alaska Airlines and Delta, and vehicle spaces on Alaska Marine Highway vessels, fill fast for the peak visitor season, May through September.

• Lock in your lodging early and talk to your host or reservation service about where your lodging is situated in Ketchikan; your host has good advice about options for local transportation.

It’s Alaska. Pack for casual comfort and conditions that vary according to the climate and your activitiesWe’re not sticklers about fashion up here. When you’re in Ketchikan, do as Ketchikan folks do: match your clothes to your activities. And if we have anything up here, it’s activities!

• Pack lightweight shirts you can layer under sweaters and jackets. Light wool and polyester fleece are good choices for outer layers.

• Your comfortable pants are welcome anywhere. On warm days a pair of shorts will feel just right. But be prepared for a maritime climate and a rain forest setting; we recommend you bring a water-resistant coat with a hood and sturdy, waterproof shoes.

• Lightweight gloves and rain gear may be needed for hikes and saltwater excursions. Sunglasses and sunscreen are recommended for our long summer days, especially if you’ll be on the water.

• If you’re prone to motion sickness, see a physician before your trip.

caN’T-MISS ATTRACTIONSNatural history, scenic grandeur and plain old fun inspire diverse attractions. Museums, historic sites and interactive tours highlight the long human presence.Creek Street borders Ketchikan Creek, where salmon runs attracted Alaska Natives for centuries and salmon still brave the falls in season. Brothels lined the creek from 1903 to 1953. Shops, restaurants, museums and galleries now welcome visitors to a distinctive neighborhood on the National Register of Historic Places.

Southeast Alaska Discovery Center is an outstanding federal interpretive facility spotlighting the land and the people of Tongass National Forest.

Sportfishing

Baited breadth: catches here range widely, from shiny salmon to halibut and shellfishOur saltwater fishing is some of the best in Alaska. Five species of wild Pacific salmon return from the open ocean to their native waters in this area: kings (also called chinooks), cohos (silvers), sockeyes (reds), pinks (humpies) and chums (dogs).

In addition to the salmon runs, halibut and red snapper offer great angling opportunities. Our cold, clean sea is rich with shrimp and crabs. Pristine freshwater lakes and streams are alive with trout, Dolly Varden and bright steelhead.

There are many options for fishing adventures. Full-service lodges and resorts offer unforgettable outdoor adventure, great meals and comfortable lodging. Experienced guides provide half-day and full-day charters in a broad radius.

Do-it-yourself saltwater fishers can rent boats and gear from local lodges. Floatplane pilots transport freshwater anglers to remote lakes, some with cabins. Professional guides offer expert advice for your trip. Some fishing spots are accessible from our road system; others are reached by floatplane or boat.

For more information about sportfishing, see Member Directory pages 48-49.

First-time visitors and veterans alike come for the diversity that Ketchikan offers and many stay longer for adventures in nearby areas. We’re the portal to many inviting neighboring communities. Let us help you plan an exciting, extended stay.

Prince of Wales IslandThe third-largest island in the United States (often called “P.O.W.”locally) is home to several thousand residents in communities of 50 to 1,500. The island is a prime destination for sportfishers and has outstanding opportunities for camping, hunting and hiking—linked by the longest road network in Southeast Alaska. Several roads are designated as Alaska Scenic Byways.

Inter-Island Ferry Authority (IFA) provides daily passage between Ketchikan and Hollis on the east side of P.O.W. Local air carriers connect to the island with daily service.

Remarkable totem pole parks stand in Klawock, Hydaburg and Kasaan. During the summer, the U.S. Forest Service conducts guided tours of El Capitan Cave, the largest of 500 on the island. Register online or at ranger districts.

Visitors and residents run 26 miles of scenic roads on Memorial Day weekend in the Prince of Wales Island Marathon, a sanctioned race that also features half-marathon and relay competitions. By the Sea Arts and Seafood Fest in Coffman Cove the second weekend in August is a highlight of summer for residents and visitors.

Prince of Wales Island and other areas of Southeast Alaska present visitors with magnificent natural scenes, abundant

wildlife and up-close experiences with a unique way of life.
