Saxman Native Village, Totem Bight State Park & Potlatch Park

Although you choose where to go and what to see, many options are available. A basic format has been prepared for your

consideration. You can begin with a visit to the Saxman Native Village to see Ketchikan's largest collection of authentic standing totem poles and observe a totem pole being carved.

Rainforest, Beach, and Waterfalls

Nature lovers may opt to take a stroll through a rainforest that opens to a beautiful, rock-lined beach. There are splendid views on the north and south sides of the island.

Beaver Falls, located approximately 13 miles (about 21 kilometers) south of town, is the largest waterfall on the island accessible by vehicle. Herring Cove is located approximately eight miles (about 13 kilometers) south of town. Search for seasonal wildlife or take an optional walk down to the water's edge to view the salmon in the creek.

Ward Creek and Totem Bight State Park

At the north end of town, you can take a stroll through the Ward Creek area of the Tongass National Forest. Ward Creek is lined with Sitka spruce, western hemlock, and red cedar trees, and features a one-mile (1.6 kilometers) gravel-surfaced, groomed trail offering flat and

easy sections to hike, with few inclines. This trail ascends only 100 feet (about 30 meters), offering a picturesque viewing platform at the turnaround point.

Lunch Creek Trail and Emery Tobin Lake

Lunch Creek Trail is located at the very north end of Tongass Highway.  This moderate-to-difficult, 4.1-mile (6.6-kilometer) trail winds

through mature cedar and spruce forest, continues into natural tread interspersed with boardwalk climbing through spruce stands and

muskeg meadows and ends in a sub-alpine forest at Emery Tobin Lake. Scenic views include a trailside waterfall.

Custom stops can include shopping, dining, or exploring just about anything on the island. Photo and wildlife stops can be made at any time the opportunity arises. Beverages are available throughout the tour. Your exclusive Silver Shore Privato sightseeing tour concludes back at the pier.
