An Alaskan vacation does not get much better than fishing for salmon, whale watching, and exploring historic attractions while staying at the Silverking Lodge near Ketchikan

If you have dreamed of an Alaskan vacation, dream no longer. Book your accommodations at Silverking Lodge near Ketchikan to make your dream a reality. At Silverking Lodge, we provide you with both rustic lodging and well as the equipment you will need to enjoy an exciting salmon fishing adventure, including a boat, some bait, a rod and a reel. When you return from your fishing excursion, our staff will even prepare your fish for your trip home. While staying at the Silverking, you can enjoy watching satellite TV in our large living room, relax on our covered porch to take in the picturesque landscape or stroll along a nearby beach to search for shells or view marine life.

 

Besides fishing on your Alaskan vacation, you can also fill your itinerary with fun activities in the Ketchikan area. The city boasts the world’s largest display of totem poles, which are on display at numerous places throughout the area. At the Metlakatla Long House and Saxman Tribal House, you can view native carvers and their apprentices sculpting poles as well as canoes, paddles and masks. Several Ketchikan art galleries specialize in authentic Alaska native art, including hand-woven basketry, carved silver, original drawings and paintings and miniature totem poles. The town is also home to historic attractions from white settlement, including Historic Creek Street and Dolly’s House Museum, a former brothel.


If you want to get out and about during your Alaskan vacation in the Ketchikan area, kayak, canoe or take a ferry to enjoy viewing whales, seals, sea lions and porpoises. If you feel like going underwater, you can rent equipment for undersea exploration at outfitters such as the Wind & Water Dive Center. If you would rather explore the area on land, the Ketchikan Outdoor Recreation and Trails Coalition maintains miles and miles of picturesque hiking trails that explore the area, from high mountaintops to valleys. No matter what activities you decide to do, you will enjoy your vacation in the southern Alaska panhandle headquartered at Silverking Lodge!
