Anderson is located about 55 air miles (76 driving miles) southwest of Fairbanks. The 6 mile access road runs west from the George Parks Highway at Mile Post 283.5. The Alaska Railroad runs close to Anderson but doesn't have a station there. Most goods are brought in by truck. A state-owned, lighted asphalt runway is located at Clear Airport, 4 miles south of town along the access road. Charters and private aircraft serve the airstrip. A private dirt strip is located at Clear Sky Lodge. Lost Slough, a large slough of the Nenana River, is located less than a mile west of town. It is used for fishing, but the river is too shallow for cargo transportation.
