Access to Other Public Aviation Facilities:
Description: The City of Manokotak is accessible by both air and water. A state-owned, lighted, gravel airstrip is located one mile north of the village, and a designated seaplane base is also present. Both regularly scheduled and charter flights are available from Dillingham. There are no docking facilities on the Igushik River, and supplies that are lightered each summer must be pulled up to the mud beach. Traveling by boat on the Igushik River can be difficult as the river is made up of meandering loops, which means that many miles must be traveled by water to cover a short distance in air miles. Residents use ATVs, snowmobiles, and some vehicles for transportation. During the winter months, snowmobiles are used to travel on the Manokotak Trail to Dillingham to retrieve fuel.
