Description: A state-owned gravel airstrip provides chartered or private air transportation year-round. Locals use skiffs in the summer and snowmobiles, ATVs, and dogsleds in the winter to travel to Bethel and other nearby villages. Winter trails exist to nearby Nunapitchuk (two and a half miles to the northeast) and Atmautluak (eight miles east), as well as a longer winter trail to Chefornak, a village 83 miles southwest of Kasigluk, near the coast of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta on the Kinia River. As of 2011 community leaders reported that no docking facilities are present in Kasigluk, and the only vessels that can be accommodated locally are barges. Barges from Bethel deliver fuel and supplies during summer months. A dock, small boat harbor, and seaplane base are located nearby in Nunapitchuk.
