Stay
Rooms within walking distance are few and fill fast: historic rooms over Creek Street and Stedman, a Tlingit-owned lodge on the hill, and bigger hotels with shuttles out along Tongass Avenue.

Walking map: the berths and downtown Ketchikan
The four city berths run along Front Street, numbered 1 to 4 from south to north. Creek Street, the Tongass Historical Museum and the salmon ladder are a short walk south and east, and the Totem Heritage Center is about 15 to 20 minutes on foot or a free summer shuttle ride.
