King Salmon is a transportation hub for Bristol Bay. Formerly an Air Force base, the state-owned airport has a paved, lighted runway, and an asphalt/gravel crosswind runway. There are scheduled jet flights and charter services offered by Alaska Airlines and Peninsula Air to and from Anchorage. A 4,000 foot stretch of the Naknek River is designated for float plane use. A seaplane base is also located at Lake Brooks, east of King Salmon within the Katmai National Park and Preserve. Four docks are available on the Naknek River, owned by the U.S. Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Alaska State Troopers, and the Bristol Bay Borough. Cargo goods are delivered to Naknek by barge and trucked upriver to King Salmon via a 15-mile connecting road. During winter, an ice road provides access to South Naknek. Vehicles are the primary means of local transportation, and skiffs are used during summer.
