Description:
Aleknagik is the only village in the region with surface access to Dillingham via the 22-mile Aleknagik Lake Road, which was paved in 2004. Regular flights from Dillingham arrive at the New Aleknagik airport. The city owns and operates a 100' dock on the north shore of Aleknagik Lake, which is not road-accessible. A breakwater, barge landing, boat launch ramp and boatlift are also available on the north shore. Moody's Marina serves as a fueling station for boats and seaplanes. Skiffs are used to travel to Dillingham, across the lake. The Lake Aleknagik State Recreation Site on the south shore, the gateway to Wood-Tikchik state parks, has a boat launch and float plane accommodations. An ice road connects north and south shores in the winter. Several barge companies provide lighterage service from Dillingham to Aleknagik via the Wood River. Vehicles, skiffs and ATVs and snow machines are the most frequent means of local transportation.
