Lyn-Lake is a commercial district in Minneapolis centered at the intersection of West Lake Street and Lyndale Avenue from which it takes its name.

The street intersection is the boundary for four official neighborhoods: Whittier on the northeast, Lyndale on the southeast, South Uptown on the southwest, and Lowry Hill East on the northwest.

North of Lyn-Lake is the Midtown Greenway bicycle and pedestrian path.

The Lyndale Ave and Lake Street intersection has the highest number of pedestrian crashes in Minneapolis over a ten year period.

The stations were originally going to be placed on Lake Street at the near side of Lyndale Ave, but a later change in plans moved the stations to be located far side, at the northwest and southeast corners of the intersection.
