This street is so unique and beautiful. There are so many great shops! I loved that there were shops full of local artwork and handicrafts. My favourite souvenirs from Alaska were bought here from a local artist who had a small studio in the back of another shop, featuring all of his fantastic Native Alaskan artwork. I had a chance to meet the artist, and he even signed the prints for me! There are also shops with the more typical tourist souvenirs if art isn't really your thing.

This was amusingly history of the early days of Trap Fishing. The area is surrounded by stories of the old brothel and the fisherman who ran the narrows. Lots of fun, just a tram ride down from our fabulous hotel.

This is a fun place if you have never been. Beautiful scenery, quirky shops and a quaint hotel. The fun history of Ketchikan etc., Once or twice is enough though.

We had a wonderful time strolling through Creek Street. there were tons of Salmon in the river and we enjoyed watching them jump up the salmon ladder. “Yeltatzie’s Salmon” by Terry Pyles was a beautiful sculpture we saw on our walk. The historic building were cool to look at and then even had plaques on the outside that told the history. We did go on a tour of Dolly's House, but I will writ a review on that too. We enjoyed being outside and seeing the salmon and the history around town.

This beautiful area of Ketchikan has lots of picture-taking opportunities and lots of rich history. Many of the buildings do or once belonged to the brave women who braved the wilds of Alaska to start their own businesses and their stories are written on useful boards placed on the houses themselves. The little shops are interesting to peek into. I nice little walk if you're just exploring before or after another tour.

Just walked around observed locals and local foods it was fun and one has plenty of time to do this plus a little shopping before heading back to the ships

Interesting and pretty walk through the quaint shops & restaurants. Nice area to spend time shopping and strolling the boardwalk (The old Red Light District). Layed back & peaceful. Not really for children. We were there during the Salmon run, it was a great place to see them jumping their way up stream! Exciting to see!

Creek Street is a really neat historic place with little shops and galleries. It's location is easy to get to and is right at the other end of Married Man's Trail from the fish ladder. Highly recommend.

There are a small selection of quaint shops here to look at and a tramway that will take you to the lodge above to get a decent view. The opal shop is interesting and the brothel too. But you will know this over in an hour. Not much for children.

Creek Street in scenic downtown Ketchikan is a must see for any tourist. I visited this area during the off-season when the crowds from the cruise-lines tapered off to non-existent. The buildings in this attraction are on stilts overlooking the water and a boardwalk winds through the various botique shops, restaurants and bars.The area, though now a thriving tourist attraction, was once the red-light district in the 1890s through the early 1910s. Visitors to this area can tour Dolly House, Ketchikan's most famous brothel (Now a museum) for a glimpse back in time to the towns seedier history.The architecture in Creek street is the real attraction with early to mid-century (20th) flair, each building built into the side of a hill overlooking the water. Below you can see Salmon fighting the uphill battle to their spawning grounds.Ketchikan is an amazingly beautiful town and Creek Street is the city center, a popular tourist destination where you can play, dine, shop, drink, or relax during your cruise excursion to this quaint port city.

Creek Street is a set of wooden buildings along a boardwalk in what used to be Ketchikan's red-light district (from 1890-1910?). In any case, the buildings are original, if repaired, and there's lots of history to see. The buildings are in active use as shops, with a couple of restaurants, and at least one hotel.The boardwalk overlooks the creek, and when I was there the salmon were running and the harbor seals were in the creek, making a meal out of it. While much of Ketchikan is just tourist shops plying the cruise-ship trade, Creek Street is something more, dating back to gold rush days. It's the part of Ketchikan (along with other hillside streets made of boardwalk sidewalks) that I find most interesting. Don't miss it - if you haven't been there, you really haven't seen what Ketchikan was about. One shop in particular is particularly worth a visit - SoHo CoHo, which is the shop owned by Ray Troll and his wife - Ray is an iconic Southeast Alaska artist, known for his greeting cards, T-shirts and paintings about life in Southeast.

Houses built over the water and kept in a early 20th century style. Where both men and fish went up stream to spawn.

Historic and amazing to see the Salmon climbing the ladder against all odds!Dolly House the most well known landmark and the cosy unique boutiques with restaurants on side of the creek with the fishes going upstream keep the passerby tourist enchanted and intrigued by the total natural beauty of ketchikan downtown.The transportation and buses from creek street to most important destinations like cruise terminal , Airport, Mall and most of the hotels is easy and abundant in the season.

The historical Creek Street in Ketchikan is a great place for a stroll along the wooden walkways with brightly colored wooden houses that stand on top of Wooden Poles along the Ketchikan town. This place was quite infamous during its heydays as the Brothel Place in Ketchikan, but today it is a souvenir place dotted with shops selling different stuff. A must on the Ketchikan trip, the place offers great opportunities for photographs and along the walkways you will find interesting write ups about its history.

Pleasant boardwalk over the water with opportunities for lovely photos of reflections. Mostly souvenir type shops but better quality that many others in the main town area. It wasn't crowded when we were there so we had a pleasant walk but I understand it gets very crowded when there are 4 big ships docked.
