Description: Ruby is accessible by air and water. A state-owned lighted, gravel airstrip is available. There are no docking facilities on the Yukon River, but a boat launch and barge off-loading area are available. Barges make several deliveries each summer. Float planes land on the Yukon River. Trucks, snow machines, ATVs, and riverboats are used for local transportation. Numerous trails and the 35-mile road to Long Creek Mine to the south are used for subsistence activities.
