Lynn Canal is an inlet into the mainland of southeast Alaska.
Lynn Canal runs about 90 miles (140 km) from the inlets of the Chilkat River south to Chatham Strait and Stephens Passage.
At over 2,000 feet (610 m) in depth, Lynn Canal is the deepest fjord in North America (outside Greenland) and one of the deepest and longest in the world.
The northern portion of the canal braids into the respective Chilkat, Chilkoot, and Taiya Inlets.
