Activities/Attractions: Ketchikan is located on

Ketchikan’s name comes from the Tlingit word
"Kichxaan". The area’s true first settlers
established a summer fish camp along the shores of Ketchikan Creek.
In 1900 Ketchikan was incorporated and today 14,000 people live,
work and play here.
A scenic town perched along the shores of coastal mountains and
surrounded by protected waterways, Ketchikan is a popular cruise
destination, as well as a wonderful spot for travelers who want to
experience wilderness and adventure. Ketchikan’s nickname,
The Salmon Capital of the World comes from its heyday as a salmon
canning center. That abundance of salmon continues to provide
outstanding sportfishing opportunities for residents and visitors
alike.
Native cultural influences continue today- majestic totem poles can
be viewed on downtown streets, in local parks and museums.
Ketchikan’s geographical location in the heart of the Tongass
National Forest, gives the town close to 160 inches of rain every
year. Rain, the locals will tell you is why the fishing is
unmatched, the wildlife is abundant and why the trees are so green
(just try and count how many shades of green you’ll
see)!
