To get to this river you will need to fly from Fairbanks to Kotzebue or Kiana on one of the regular commercial flights. From either Kotzebue or Kiana you can, then, charter a small plane that can take you to a gravel strip at the midpoint of the river. This is a 30-minute flight from Kiana. Many groups will fly commercially to Kiana from Kotzebue and then charter a flight to the river put in, in a wheel plane that will land on a gravel bar.
