Hike the pristine Ward Creek Trail,
lined by old growth spruce and hemlock. Hear the rushing waters
of Ward Creek. See abundant berries, flowers and skunk cabbage
in season.
The Tongass National Forest is only
accessible in Ketchikan by hiking. The trail is groomed to high
U.S. Forest Service standards. It is moderately rolling and climbs
to an elevation of about 100 feet over 2 miles, traversing a
gentle mountain slope.

Guests can see a variety of wildlife
including waterfowl, woodpeckers and small mammals. Bears are
rare.
While on the trail, visitors can become
more closely acquainted with the issues in the Tongass, including
resource and wildlife management and the local economy.
