　　Ketchikan’s newest boardwalk is the Waterfront Promenade, which begins near Berth 4, passes Harbor View Park (a city park that is composed entirely of decking and pilings), follows the cruise-ship docks and then wraps around Thomas Basin Harbor. Along the way there are plenty of whale-tail and halibut benches where you can take a break and admire the maritime scenery.

Totem Heritage Center
Ketchikan
　　For a crash course in Southeast Alaska's impressive totem art look no further than the Totem Heritage Center, where old poles brought from deserted Tlingit and Haida communities are kept to prevent further deterioration. Inside the center over a dozen poles, some more than 100 years old, are on display...

Saxman Native Village & Totem Park
Ketchikan
　　On South Tongass Hwy, 2.5 miles south of Ketchikan, is this incorporated Tlingit village of 475 residents. It's best known for Saxman Totem Park, which holds 24 totem poles from abandoned villages around the Southeast, restored or recarved in the 1930s. Among them is a replica of the Lincoln Pole...

Upstairs, the exhibit hall features sections on Southeast Alaska’s ecosystems and Alaska Native...
Dolly's House
Ketchikan
　　Dolly's house, in Creek St, looks like a dollhouse from the outside, but it once operated as a bastion of the world's oldest profession (read: prostitution). These days it's a slightly over-theatrical museum dedicated to a notorious era when the whole of Creek St served as a giant den of...
Creek Street
Ketchikan
　　Departing from Stedman St is Creek St (a boardwalk built over Ketchikan Creek on pilings), a history book of misshapen wood-paneled houses painted in bright colors to deflect the heaviness of the oft-sodden climate. This was Ketchikan’s famed red-light district until prostitution became illegal in 1954. During Creek St’s heyday,...
Potlatch Park
Ketchikan
　　Potlatch Park is right next door to Totem Bight State Park. It's less manicured, but still home to a dozen totems, one of which is 42ft high. There are also five beautiful tribal houses and an on-site carver who is usually working on a totem in the carving shed. One...
