The community sits on the east bank of the Ugashik River, 10 miles (16 km) upriver (east) from its mouth in Ugashik Bay, an arm of Bristol Bay of the Bering Sea, and 25 miles (40 km) downriver (west) from the mouth of Lower Ugashik Lake. The CDP extends east as far as the west shores of Lower and Upper Ugashik Lakes.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 266.6 square miles (690.4 km), of which 247.5 square miles (641.1 km) are land and 19.0 square miles (49.3 km), or 7.15%, are water.

The village of Ugashik is located some 6 miles (10 km) by air and 20 miles (32 km) by river east of the village of Pilot Point. The proximity to the salmon-rich waters of Ugashik Bay and available fresh water supply made it suitable as a location for a salmon cannery, Alaska Packers which operated until 1957. A family-owned company, Briggs Way Cannery, opened in 1962, and runs to this day. It is currently known as Ugashik Wild Salmon Co. and is continued on by the second generation of family and fishermen.
