About Us

Nestled at 1830 Tongass Ave in the heart of Ketchikan, Alaska, the Elks Lodge stands as a beacon of brotherhood, community service, and unforgettable gatherings amid the towering totem poles and misty fjords. For decades, we've been more than just a lodge—we're the pulse of this rugged coastal town, where fishermen, locals, and visitors alike come together under our patriotic banner.

Our 4.8-star rated haven (16 glowing reviews) opens its doors wide, just like the time we welcomed cruise ship guests for a personal tour and sent them home with cherished Elks pins.
