Pitkas Point, AK

Pitkas Point is a small Yup'ik community nestled along the lower Yukon River, just five miles northwest of St. Mary's. Because the two villages are connected by a gravel road, residents enjoy convenient access to regional flights, local schools, and everyday essentials nearby. Daily life is tied closely to the water and the seasons, with locals getting around by boat during the warmer months and traveling the frozen river trails on snowmachines all winter long.
