Anvik Airport — Anvik, United States

Anvik Airport, identified by the code ANV, lies at 291 feet elevation above the village of Anvik, Alaska, near where the Anvik River meets the Yukon River. A single runway links this remote community to the rest of the state, since no highway reaches the village. This medium airport, modest in size, plays an outsized local role: without it, residents would depend entirely on the river for transport, which freezes for much of the winter and carries breakup ice in spring. Bush planes remain the most reliable year-round option for reaching Anvik.
