Ward Creek Waterfall Viewing Platform — photo spot in Ward Lake Rd N, Ketchikan, AK 99901, USA
Ward Creek Waterfall Viewing Platform
A compact rainforest waterfall framed by mossy trunks and ferns, viewed from a wooden platform a short walk from Ward Lake Rd. Photograph rushing cascades, textured bark and intimate forest details. Best after rain or during spring snowmelt for peak flow; overcast skies give even light, golden hour warms the scene. Access is easy: short trail from roadside parking (limited spaces), no permit required. Expect muddy footing and bugs — bring waterproof footwear and protect gear.
