Description: Russian Mission's location on the Yukon River allows barge and small boat travel during the summer. Passengers, mail, and light goods arrive primarily by air. A gravel airstrip and seaplane landing area are owned and operated by the state. Scheduled daily flights are available. Snow machines are used in inter-village transportation in the winter, and a trail is marked to Kalskag (25 mi). As of May 2014, some of the communities roads were in need of repair due to damage from flooding.
