Salmon Falls

  • Address: Married Man's Trail, off Park Ave., Ketchikan, AK | Map It

Fodor's Review:

Get out your camera and set it for high speed at the fish ladder, a series of pools arranged like steps that allow fish to travel upstream around a dam or falls. When the salmon start running from June onward, thousands of fish leap the falls (or take the easier fish-ladder route). They spawn in Ketchikan Creek's waters farther upstream. Many can also be seen in the creek's eddies above and below the falls. The falls, fish ladder, and a large carving of a jumping salmon are just off Park Avenue on Married Man's Trail. (The trail was once used by married men for discreet access to the red-light district on Creek Street.)
