Boardwalk along the east bank of Ketchikan Creek, downtown · Ketchikan, AK
Why you should go…
Creek Street is a boardwalk built on stilts along the east bank of Ketchikan Creek. From 1903, when a city ordinance pushed brothels out of the town center, until the 1950s it was Ketchikan's red-light district, and more than 30 houses lined the creek over the years. Today the preserved buildings hold gift shops, museums and homes, and Dolly's House, a former brothel, is a museum. Married Man's Way, the trail patrons used to slip away from raids, still winds into the hills above.
