Q&A
A: You can definitely bring kids along! The trail is suitable for families, but I’d recommend kids be at least 8 years old since it can get a bit rugged in some spots. Just keep an eye on them, especially near the creek. It’s a great way to introduce them to nature!
A: Yes, there can be cancellations if the weather is too severe, but they usually provide updates a day in advance. Just check the forecast for Ketchikan, since it can be pretty rainy! They do offer ponchos, but it’s always good to be prepared.
A: Wear comfortable hiking shoes and dress in layers! The trail isn’t super difficult, but there are some steep sections. It’s mostly moderate. Don’t forget a light jacket just in case it gets chilly, especially near the creek.

I just did the Lunch Creek Trail hike last weekend! The old-growth forests were breathtaking, and I loved how the creek runs alongside. The food was surprisingly good, too! Anyone considering this for a gift should definitely go for it. What a great way to experience Ketchikan!
