Atlin Lake

Atlin Lake is a lake in northwestern British Columbia and is that province's largest natural lake. The northern tip of the lake is in the Yukon, as is Little Atlin Lake. However, most of the lake lies within the Stikine Region of British Columbia. Atlin Lake is considered the source of the Yukon River and flows into Tagish Lake.

The name comes from Áa Tlein, the Tlingit word for "big body of water".

The community of Atlin, British Columbia is located on the eastern shore of the lake and the southern part of the lake is in the Atlin Provincial Park and Recreation Area.
