It is set along hillsides near a waterfront on a heavily forested island, and is a major port along Inside Passage- a superb network of waterways that is best known for its salmon fish, natural scenery and the Alaskan Native culture. Lying close to it are forests, bays and several small islands that together make kayaking and sightseeing a fun. Ketchikan was an epicenter of Native Alaskan cultures until 1885 and has the world's largest collection of standing totem poles made by them.
