Tenakee Springs is dependent on seaplanes and the Alaska Marine Highway for transport. The state owns a seaplane dock and the city owns the heliport. Scheduled or chartered float planes are dispatched from Juneau and Sitka. The state ferry provides passenger transportation only, since there is no vehicle landing facilities in Tenakee. The main street is a 2 mile long walking trail. Barges deliver fuel and goods four to six times a year. The marine facilities include a small boat harbor and ferry terminal. The City of Tenakee owns a fuel dock. Local transportation is primarily by bicycle or ATV. As of May 2014, the Alaska Department of Transportation is replacing two floats and making upgrades to the boat harbor, with construction scheduled for the fall. The US Army Corps of Engineers is planning repair and renovation of the city dock, including fueling and a state Ferry facility. No construction date has been set.
