This small municipality sits at the head of Lynn Canal surrounded by dramatic mountain peaks and serves as the historic gateway to the Klondike Gold Rush. The landscape features steep valleys, the famous White Pass route, and limited flat land in a narrow corridor between mountains and sea.
Agricultural activity is very limited due to small land area and focus on tourism, with only small community gardens and greenhouse operations. Most food production consists of hobby-scale cultivation and small projects to supply local restaurants and the seasonal tourist population.
