There are no roads connecting Koyuk with other villages, regular access is primarily limited to air and sea. Supplies arrive from Nome and are lightered to shore. The lack of an extensive road system increases the importance of the winter trail system. The most well-known trail is the 1,151 mile Iditarod trail from Anchorage to Nome. This trail connects the villages of Unalakleet, Shaktoolik, Koyuk, White Mountain, Koyuk, and Elim. There is also a trail connecting Koyuk to Buckland, and a coastal route between Stebbins and St. Michael, Unalakleet, Shaktoolik, Koyuk, Elim, Golovin, White Mountain and Solomon. Construction has also begun on an 18-mile road segment connecting Koyuk to Six Mile Point. There is no dock in the village, but the city has received funding from NSEDC for a fisherman's floating dock. There is a state-owned airport with a gravel runway; improvements are needed to bring the runway up to the standard minimum length of 4,000 feet. Daily flights are accommodated between Nome and Unalakleet.
