A state-owned gravel airstrip and public seaplane facility provides scheduled and chartered services year-round to Akiachak. Most transportation within the community is via four-wheelers in the summer and snow machines in the winter. Boats, snow machines, and ATVs are used extensively by locals on the Kuskokwim River. Although no formal boat landing area exists, there is a shallow area, separated from the main channel of the Kuskokwim River by a small isthmus, where boats are hauled up on shore and stored for the winter. Mail is often delivered by hovercraft. Barges deliver bulk fuel and supplies during the summer. Bethel provides full jet service to Anchorage year-round. Road networks are severely limited due to the delta's topography, especially in the summer. The river is used as an ice road during the winter months. A 2011, community plan identified several future projects: a road to provide access to land for housing and other projects, a trail for access to important fishing and subsistence areas, improving current streets, and providing winter trail markings to improve safety of winter travel.
