Top 10 Reasons to Choose Waterfall Resort:
1. You Will Catch Fish: Why? Simply, Waterfall’s great location! Since the late 1800s, the West Coast of Prince of Wales Island has been a commercial fishing center cultivating the annual Salmon and bottom fishery. In the cool waters surrounding Prince of Wales, rich tides prime the deep waters to create habitats for millions of baitfish that attract annual returns of trophy-size Salmon, Halibut, Ling Cod, Red Snapper and Rockfish. Today, novice and avid anglers sport fish these same productive coastal waters.

2. Remote Historic Cannery Location: Established in 1912 and operating until the late 1960s, Waterfall Cannery was a rugged community of seiners, fish trappers and international workers all coming together to manage the most prolific and innovative salmon processing cannery in Alaska. Since 1983, Waterfall has remodeled all buildings, docks and powerful water and electrical capabilities. Waterfall is recognized as one of the finest remote sport fishing destinations in the world.

In the early 1900’s, Waterfall was the largest salmon packing plant on the west coast of Prince of Wales Island. Like most canneries in Alaska, this remote operation on the Ulloa Channel was a complete, self- sufficient, temporary community. When the season was over, all but a few workers departed until the next summer’s migration.
