Photo courtesy of USDA Forest Service Ketchikan, Alaska (KINY) - The Ketchikan Misty Fjords Ranger District is requesting large boat operators refrain from tying up to Forest Service recreational buoys. The agency's buoys have a maximum vessel length of 26 feet for safe moorage. Larger vessels risk the chance of dislodging the anchor. All recreation buoys are first come first serve.
