Hood Canal, despite its name, is a fjord off Puget Sound in the U.S. state of Washington, with an average width of 1.5 miles and an average depth of 500 feet. It extends for about 50 miles southwest of Point No Point to Union, where it turns northeast and extends for about 15 miles to Belfair. It separates the Kitsap Peninsula from the Olympic Peninsula for its entire length. U.S. Highway 101 runs along its western shore south of Quilcene.
