Description: Tanana is located in Interior Alaska about two miles west of the junction of the Tanana and Yukon Rivers. The community lies 130 air miles west of Fairbanks. Tanana is accessible only by air and river transportation. The city maintains 32 miles of local roads. Work began on a new road from Manley Hot Springs to Tanana in the fall of 2013. The city operates a dock on the river; barged goods can be offloaded at a staging and storage area. The state owns and operates the Ralph M. Calhoun Memorial Airport, which has a lighted, gravel runway. Float planes land on the Yukon River. Cars, trucks, snow machines, ATVs, and riverboats are used for local transportation. Groceries and other small items are shipped to the village by air, or by barge during the barging season from May to September.
