Description: Minto is located off of the Elliot Highway, about 126 miles northwest of Fairbanks. Minto has a state-maintained public airport with a gravel runway in good condition. The Tolovana River provides boat access to the Tanana and Nenana Rivers. The area is too shallow for barge service. Trucks, cars, snow machines, ATVs, and riverboats are used for transportation, recreation, and subsistence purposes. Minto receives funds from the Essential Air Services program that subsidizes the cost of commercial flights.
