Ketchikan Kayak Co. is excited to offer the original e-bike tour in SE Alaska. Join us for an easy and enjoyable electric-assist bicycle ride on the road to nowhere, the end of our paved road system. This road dead ends at the edge of extensive wilderness, the Tongass National Forest at Settlers Cove State Park. After parking the bikes you will then take a guided hike on an enjoyable trail though dense rainforest, along a stream with waterfalls, rapids and beautiful beach views. After the 1 mile loop trail hike you'll cross the stream and return to the e-bikes and return 6 miles back to our marina for delicious smoked salmon and other snacks and beverages at the scenic, oceanfront, Clover Pass Resort. All our tours provide round trip transportation from the downtown cruise docks or the new dock at Ward Cove and excellent gear is provided for all your needs.
