Description:
Klawock is dependent on air transportation from Ketchikan, although it is connected to other communities through the island road system. The only airstrip on Prince of Wales Island is located here, with a paved runway. A seaplane base is operated by the state on the Klawock River. Ferry transportation is available to Hollis, 23 miles away. Klawock has a small boat harbor and boat launch ramp. A deep draft dock is located at Klawock Island, which is primarily used for loading timber. Freight arrives by cargo plane, barge, and truck.
