Access to Other Public Aviation Facilities:
Description: Boats and ATVs are used in the summer and snow machines in the winter. Locals travel to New Stuyahok frequently. There are no docking facilities; goods are lightered from Dillingham. In a survey conducted in 2011, community leaders reported vessels up to 200 feet long can use moorage in Koliganek but that no dock space is available for public moorage. Community leaders also reported a road system exists in the community. A state-owned gravel runway is available.
