Thorne Bay is on Prince of Wales Island, so unlike Meyers Chuck it's actually tied into an extensive road network:

  1. Ferry + Drive: Take the Inter-Island Ferry from Ketchikan to Hollis (about 3 hours across Clarence Strait), then drive north on Prince of Wales Island road network (paved highway) for about 60 miles / 1.5 hours to Thorne Bay.
  2. Floatplane: Scheduled floatplanes (Taquan Air) fly directly from Ketchikan harbor to the Thorne Bay seaplane base in about 20 minutes.
  3. Boat: Direct boat or water taxi across Clarence Strait into Thorne Bay harbour.
