Editing Eek, Alaska (section)

==Services==

Eek is serviced primarily by the [[Eek Airport]]. A second (former) airport east of the village is the current site of a cellular transmission tower, but the runway remains in marginally usable condition and is occasionally used by private aircraft. A town dock provides access to the Eek River, which feeds into the Kuskokwim providing access to most surrounding villages by boat. During winter months many residents utilize travel by snow machine and trails are laid out between the villages in the area. Trails from Eek run to Quinhagak to the south, Tuntutuliak to the west and the Bethel area to the north.

Airfare to the nearest large town, [[Bethel, Alaska|Bethel]], is expensive, running about $250 in 2020. This severely limits medical care and governmental access.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|date=January 7, 2020|title=Eek traditional council approves funds to bring DMV to town to issue Real IDs|url=https://www.adn.com/alaska-news/rural-alaska/2020/01/07/eek-traditional-council-approves-funds-to-bring-dmv-to-town-to-issue-real-ids/|access-date=October 18, 2020|website=Anchorage Daily News|language=en-US}}</ref>
