Small observation platform on Creek Street overlooking the salmon ladder where migrating salmon leap and congregate. Best visited June–September during the run; early morning or late afternoon offers directional light and fewer tourists. Overcast days give even, color-rich scenes of fish and water. Platform is walkable from downtown/Ketchikan cruise docks; limited nearby parking. Respect posted signs and local fishing/cultural practices—this site links to Tlingit and local fishing heritage.
