Ward Cove
Ketchikan, USA


Ward Cove is a natural harbor located just north of Ketchikan in Southeast Alaska, historically significant for its salmon canneries and commercial fishing. The cove is framed by lush forested hills and provides a picturesque backdrop for the old cannery buildings that still reflect the area's maritime heritage.
The cove is accessible by boat or car, making it a quiet spot to appreciate the rugged beauty of Alaska's coastline. It's best to visit during the summer months when the weather is milder, and the surrounding waters are ideal for wildlife watching, including sea otters and eagles.
