Small waterfront park with a life‑size bronze whale and sweeping views of Tongass Narrows and Ketchikan harbor — great for environmental portraiture, coastal panoramas and maritime detail shots. Easily accessible from downtown (short walk from cruise docks), no entry fee; limited roadside parking on Mill St. Best light is at golden hour — sunrise for soft warm light on the water, sunset for silhouetted vessels. Weather is often cloudy/rainy; bring waterproof gear and a lens cloth.
