Ketchikan,
Alaska is Alaska's Native Cultural Center and Sport
fishing Capital. A popular destination along Alaska's
famed Inside Passage in the Tongass National Forest
near Misty Fjords (Misty Fiords) National Monument.
Ketchikan and its neighboring communities of Metlakatla,
Prince of Wales Island towns, and Wrangell provide
an unforgettable Alaskan experience.
Ketchikan combines the best that Alaska has to offer.
Located on Revillagigedo Island in Southeast Alaska,
within the Tongass National Forest, Ketchikan has
the best of both worlds - the mountains and the sea.
It enjoys a lush green landscape 365 days a year thanks
to an average of 162 inches of precipitation, which
includes about 32 inches of snow. Winters can be chilly,
as they are in most Northern States, but the year
round climate is rather temperate and temperatures
can reach into the 80s during the summer.
