Access to Other Public Aviation Facilities:
Description: Kokhanok is accessible by air and water. There is a state-owned gravel airstrip and a seaplane base. . As of July 2014, the barge was not able to travel to the village for several years and fuel and other goods had to be shipped in by plane. In the past, large amounts of freight are delivered in the summer by barge either up the Kvichak River from Naknek, or by Cook Inlet or Pile Bay portages. Small freight is delivered by air plane. Residents can generally travel to Iliamna and Anchorage through scheduled air service. Travel to Dillingham, King Salmon, and other communities typically require chartering. Local travel is done primarily by ATV, skiff, or snowmobile.
