Ketchikan Creek

Ketchikan Creek, also called Fish Creek and known in Tlingit as Kitschkhin, is a salmon-spawning stream on Revillagigedo Island in southeastern Alaska. Beginning in a lake, it flows about 6 miles through downtown Ketchikan before entering Tongass Narrows. The creek has long been central to the city’s historic waterfront identity. Creek Street, a well-known old boardwalk built on pilings along its banks, connects the waterway to Ketchikan’s past and to the annual salmon runs that continue to shape the community.
