Description:
River transportation is very important to Hughes, although barge service is not reliable due to shallow water. Most fuel and heavy freight is brought in by air. A lighted, gravel 3,380' long by 100' wide runway is maintained and owned by the state. Snow machines, ATVs, and skiffs are used for local transportation. The frozen river serves as an ice road during winter and links the village to other area communities.
