Kingfisher Charters & Lodge- Where We Are

Prince of Wales Island is located 75 miles west of Ketchikan and 600 miles north of Seattle. The island is notably the the third largest in the United States with 2,231 miles. It is 135 miles long and 45 miles wide with eleven communities scattered around the island. There are approximately 4,900 year-round residents. Craig is the largest community with 2,136 residents.

Haida, Tlingit and Tsimshian native cultures are represented on the island. Just a few miles up the road from Craig is Klawock, named for Kloo-wah, a member of the Tahn-da-quan Indians of Moira Sound. Klawock's Totem Park has the largest collection of authentic totem poles in Alaska. It is also home to the second oldest hatchery in Alaska and is distinguished as having the first cannery in Alaska.
