The Endicott River[pronunciation?] is a stream, 25 miles (40 km) long, in Haines Borough in the U.S. state of Alaska.[1] Beginning at the base of an unnamed glacier near Mount Young in the Chilkat Range, it flows generally eastward into the Lynn Canal.[3] Most of the river's course lies within the Endicott River Wilderness of the Tongass National Forest.[3] The river mouth is about 25 miles (40 km) northwest of Juneau.[1]
