## Description

Aleknagik means roughly «wrong way home», a name left by Yup'ik paddlers who missed the river mouth. Today Aleknagik / New Airport (WKK, FAA 5A8) serves a village of about 200 on Aleknagik Lake, the gateway to Wood-Tikchik State Park — the largest state park in the United States. Unusually for Alaska's Bristol Bay bush, a roughly 40-km road links the village to the regional airport at Dillingham (DLG). Its gravel strip (15/33, about 620 m) carries little freight: cargo is routed through Dillingham and trucked in, while summer traffic is dominated by floatplanes serving fishing lodges.
