Ketchikan Creek

Ketchikan Creek (alternate, "Fish Creek"; Tlingit, "Kitschkhin") is a waterway on Revillagigedo Island in the U.S. state of Alaska. It heads in a lake and travels 6 miles (9.7 km) to Tongass Narrows.[1] The historic Creek Street in Ketchikan runs along the creek banks as a piling-perched boardwalk.[2]
