Description: South Naknek is accessible by air or sea. There are two state-owned lighted gravel runways. The PAF Cannery airport lies three miles to the southeast and has a dirt strip and a crosswind strip. Scheduled and charter flight services are available. A 3,000' designated stretch of the Naknek River is used by float planes. The frozen river provides an ice road to Naknek and King Salmon in winter. There is an unmaintained dirt road to New Savonoski. The borough operates a mid- and high-tide cargo dock at South Naknek with 200' of berth space to accommodate barges. Trucks, cars, ATVs, snow machines, and boats are used for local travel.
