Waterfall Resort launches 2015 Summer Line-Up
Ketchikan, Alaska (PRWEB) May 29, 2015
Waterfall Resort, the most popular fishing lodge in Alaska, is gearing up for the 2015 summer season filled with an array of action-packed activities. The 2015 calendar of events includes everything from a Father’s Day Dad will never forget over Dads & Grads Days, June 21-24; a wild frontier Fourth of July Celebration, July 1-8; a multigenerational trip for the record books during Senior’s Week, August 11-14, and more. The 2015 season is from June 12 to August 14.
Additionally, Alaska Airlines now has competition from other carriers providing direct service from Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (SEA) to Ketchikan International Airport (KTN), which is putting pressure on air fares for this route and benefitting all summer travelers from the lower 48.
Once guests arrive in Ketchikan, they’ll take one of Promech Air’s sea planes directly to the resort. Anglers of all skill levels will then embark on an expertly guided sport-fishing excursion where they have the opportunity to reel in more than twenty varieties of local sport fish such as trophy-size king salmon, silver salmon, halibut and yelloweye rockfish. Southeast Alaska’s natural landscape allows for awe-inspiring wildlife encounters with humpback whales, orcas, bald eagles, black bears and more. As evening approaches, guests feast on hearty Alaskan fare and fresh seafood in the Dining Room and share fish tales at the Lagoon Saloon.
Below please find the 2015 calendar of events for guests looking to embark on the adventure of a lifetime.

- Waterfall Creek Salmon Run – Mid-August
Experience wildlife in all its glory – each August, the local pink salmon of Waterfall Creek swim home to spawn in the sparkling pool below the resort’s namesake waterfall. Cheer them on as they dodge black bears to make their epic journey! (Note: event dates may vary based on the salmons’ discretion).
- Seniors Week – August 11-14, 2015
With more than 100 years of history, Waterfall Resort knows getting older has its privileges. Guests 65 and older get a special 25% off their land package. August is peak season for silver salmon (coho) and the weather is typically at its most mild. For a multi-generational travel experience, it’s the perfect time bring the grandchildren.
Events are based on availability. Kids visiting Waterfall Resort should be at least 12 years of age (they’ll be reeling in some big fish!). Kids 15 and under get 15% off list rates when fishing with an adult (Kids Rate may be combined with Dads & Grads Week and Seniors Week).
