Don't miss this one. It is a short ride for town, and it worth it. Easy walk between different totems, and nice view of the harbor. It was special.

Ketchikan has the world's largest collection of standing totem poles, allegedly in the world! Ketchikan's economy is based upon government services, tourism, and commercial fishing. The city is known as the "Salmon Capital of the World." This was one of our cruise boat stops; as we toured the Kenai Peninsula in Southeast, Alaska, during May 0f 2012. Frankly, there is not a lot of things to do in Ketchikan. The totem poles were unique, very colorful, and somewhat interesting. And each totem pole was to tell a different story! With this exception everything else in the area was typical trinket, and souvenir shops, all geared to the cruise boat tourist; which is a good source of monies for their economy.

Not much to the park if your looking for things to do. But, the view was amazing. Or cab driver said during summer a lot busier and museum is open. We enjoyed our walk and the sand on the beach was hard to come by anywhere else on our stay in Ketchikan. Lots of history and huge Totoem Poles near a Clan House.

Couldn't see totem poles. Totem Poles already wrapped in plastic for winter by 9/18. Disappointed this year.

If you are interested in learning about totem poles, rather than just seeing them, I would strongly recommended taking a guided tour of this park. While learning about the different types was interesting in and of itself, learning the stories about the poles (and how to "read" them) was even more interesting. While I understand that guides can be an "iffy" situation, Jean and I were lucky enough to have Martin Greenough (Bus 284) as our guide for this place. MUCH more informative than we were expecting.

We took a short bus ride from the town out to the park. The guide had everything including umbrellas for the rain. She knew the history and customs of the three main tribes. She knew so many stories of what the poles represented that we were amazed. Kat blended the history with the culture and the tour so there was never a dull moment. She even had cookies for us at the end of the tour. We also enjoyed the short trip around town. Yes, you could do this trip on your own....but you would miss 90% of the real meaning. We loved every minute. Thanks Kat.

We came here as part of a tour, maybe a bit touristy, but a neat stop. We didn't expect to see distorted orbs over faces in nearly all of our photos, even the faces on the totems were not spared!

We took the local bus to Totem Bight Park. While there be sure to stop in and see the firearms collection in the trading post store. It's quite impressive. At the end of the parking lot where the store is there is a short trail that leads down to Potlatch Point. Down there is an impressive set up of native log buildings and more totems plus a nice collection of some old cars.It really is worth having a look at while you are there.

Totem bight park was a nice place to go. The totem poles were beautiful ? The view is amazing . These totems are reproductions of the originals but you can see a lot of work went into these works of art.

Totem Bight Park is part of the Tongass National Park system and it showcases the lost history of native totem parks. It should be pointed out that the totem poles in this reserve are reproductions of originals, painstakingly recreated from the remnants of historical poles long lost to the elements.You start the journey along a scenic woodland footpath that empties out onto the shore where you can view a handful of staggeringly tall totem poles, most with plaques that tell the stories of each pole as well as a brief history of totem poles in general.There is also a clan house that you can enter that once housed up to fifty members of a tribe. The story of the clan house is outlined on a nearby plaque. You can also read about the various totem poles in the park by picking up a brochure at the entrance to the park.
