About Ward Cove Dock Group

The Mill at Ward Cove is the site of the historic Ketchikan Pulp Mill, the longest operating pulp mill in Alaska, located just 7 miles north of downtown Ketchikan. Completed in 1954 and operated until 1997, The Mill was the economic heartbeat of Southeast Alaska. Logs were harvested from the forest and transformed into usable products such as rayon, cellophane, explosives, pharmaceuticals, and even food additives. As we develop this destination The Mill at Ward Cove will again become an economic driver for the community of Ketchikan, creating year-round jobs for local residents as well as fun seasonal opportunities for non-residents. As Alaska’s newest cruise ship port, the Mill at Ward Cove will become a major destination in Alaska. For the 2022 season, we will provide our guests with a true Alaska experience at our Welcome Center with great retail opportunities including artisan kiosks, a full sit-down dining experience, and museum displays that showcase the history of The Mill. We will be operating a variety of adventurous tour options such as zipline, kayaking, hiking, sea cycle adventure, self-drive zodiac tour, and an e-bike tour. We will also engage our guests with storytelling, live music, and other artistic attractions.
