Access to Other Public Aviation Facilities:
Description: It can be accessed by a state-owned wide gravel airstrip year-round. There are no docking facilities, although cargo barges deliver during the summer. In the summer of 2014, the river was too low for barges to travel there. This meant that barges were unable to deliver fuel to the village. Residents use fishing boats, skiffs, snow machines, and ATVs for local transportation.
