Arm (geography)
Shuswap Lake in British Columbia with its three arms
In geography, an arm is a narrow extension, inlet, or smaller reach, of water flowing out from a much larger body of water, such as an ocean, a sea, or a lake. Although different geographically, a sound or bay may also be called an arm.
By extension, a canal arm is a subsidiary branch of a canal or inland waterway.
