TKC owns most of the land that borders the Yukon Kuskokwim Region from the twin bluffs below Uknavik to approximately five miles above the Tatlawiksuk River. TKC land is privately owned. However, there are many Native allotments along the river that are privately owned by Native allottees. TKC does not manage Native allotments, and each private owner should be contacted for access. There are a few sections along the main river, which are state or federally owned, and public access is permitted.
The first of these is about a 10-mile stretch in the old Kuskokwim channel between Kalskag and Aniak. (Please note that there are four Native allotments within this area that should be respected.)
Other non TKC lands are located on about a four-mile stretch on both the north and south banks below the Kolmakoff River, an approximately two-mile stretch on the north bank around the bend above Napaimute, and another approximately two-mile section about six miles below Georgetown on the south bank, which includes the downstream end of the second island below Georgetown.
Additionally, lands up the tributaries beyond TKC boundaries are almost all under state or federal ownership. TKC land ownership varies in extent from five to 20 miles up any of them (as identified below):
- Aniak River:
Approximately 20 river miles. - Holukuk River:
Approximately six river miles. - Oskawalik River:
Approximately five river miles (to the end of the first mountain). - George River:
Approximately nine river miles (then interrupted by a section of public lands), and continued from about mile 14 to 25. - Holitna River:
Mouth of the Hoholitna River. - Stony River:
Approximately 20 river miles.
Hunters should note the Lime Village Management Area beginning at the mouth of the Stink River up to Can Creek. Moose can only be taken with a Tier I subsistence permit in this area. Caribou however may still be taken within this area under normal State hunting permit conditions.
- Swift River:
Approximately 10 river miles. - Tatlawiksuk River:
Approximately 10 river miles.
