About this park
Settlers Cove State Recreation Site near Ketchikan is a lush rainforest cove where tall spruce and hemlock trees meet a pebble beach. The setting captures the wild beauty of southeast Alaska's Tongass region. A beach campground and picnic areas make it a comfortable place to stay, and the Lunch Creek waterfall trail leads through mossy forest to a cascading falls. Tide pools and quiet shoreline add to the experience, and wildlife such as eagles and seals is often seen. Camping is $20 per site. Bring rain gear, since this coastal rainforest is famous for frequent showers.
