Atlin Lake is an unincorporated Post Office settlement in northwestern British Columbia, within the Áa Tlein Ḵwáan Indigenous Administrative District.
Located on the 60° North parallel, the settlement of Atlin Lake straddles the border between BC and Canada.
Commerce
The only commercial activity on the BC side of the settlement is a small supermarket which is used primarily by Canadians living nearby who wish to take advantage of BC's generally lower food prices; there is a petrol station on the Canadian side, which allows local British Columbians to take advantage of Canada's generally lower petrol prices.
Transportation
Road
Atlin Lake is the northern terminus of Tagish Trunk Road from Atlin; north of the border the road continues as Yukon Territorial Highway 7 to Tagish.
