About this park
Totem Bight State Historical Park near Ketchikan is a beautiful woodland site that features a recreated Tlingit village beside Tongass Narrows. Carved and painted totem poles stand among tall trees, with the water glimmering just beyond. The park has 15 restored and carved totem poles and a traditional clan house, giving visitors a close look at the art and traditions of Southeast Alaska's Native peoples. Interpretive signs explain the poles' stories and meanings, and the forest trail adds a peaceful, reflective setting. Site access costs $5 per person. Allow time to walk slowly and read the signs to appreciate the artistry.
