Aleknagik / New Airport (WKK) is a small general aviation facility serving the community of Aleknagik in southwestern Alaska, situated near the northern shore of Lake Aleknagik. It plays a vital role in connecting this roadless village to regional hubs like Dillingham, as surface transportation options are essentially nonexistent. The airport is a lifeline for residents, fishermen, and outdoor enthusiasts accessing the Wood-Tikchik State Park area.
