Chignik Lake is primarily accessible by air. There is a state-owned gravel airstrip; seaplanes may land at Chignik Lagoon. Regularly-scheduled and charter flights are provided. Goods are lightered, weekly during the summer and monthly during winter, to the lake via Chignik Lagoon and are then transported over land. The state ferry provides service to Chignik Lagoon four times per year. There is no harbor, dock, barge access, or boat haul-outs. Skiffs and ATVs are the primary means of local transportation. There is a strong regional interest in constructing roads between Chignik, Chignik Lagoon, Chignik Lake, and the city landfill.
