Welcome to Bristol Bay/Dillingham 4-H Club
Dillingham, ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ, is a city located in the Dillingham Census Area in southwestern
ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ. It is situated on Nushagak Bay at the mouth of the Nushagak River, an inlet
of Bristol Bay, which is an arm of the Bering Sea in the North Pacific.
The city, with a population of about 2,200, is an important commercial fishing port.
It welcomes both the commercial fishing industry and a sizable number of summer visitors.
Sport fishing is a major draw. Dillingham is the gateway to Wood-Tikchik State Park,
the largest and most remote state park in the U.S., spanning almost 1.6 million acres.
Dillingham is not connected to the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ road system, however, it is accessible by
air and sea. Dillingham Airport is served by regional as well as national airlines.
The city is also served by the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Marine Highway ferry system, which provides
regular service to other communities in the region.
Dillingham is served by a Tribal Extension specialist who oversees 4-H programs in
Dillingham and also works with youth in the surrounding villages and through online
offerings. Contact the statewide 4-H office for more information about 4-H and youth
programming in the area.
