Hevenor Inlet is a cool natural waterway found in British Columbia, Canada. It's a type of fjord, which is a long, narrow arm of the sea, often with steep sides. This inlet stretches out from Petrel Channel and is located on the northwest side of Pitt Island.
This area is part of the traditional lands of the Gitxaala Nation, an Indigenous group who have lived there for a very long time.
Exploring Hevenor Inlet
Hevenor Inlet has two main entry points: Stark Point and Hevenor Point. Inside the inlet, you'll find two small islands called Clark Islet and Hevenor Islet. An islet is just a very small island.
A narrow passage connects the inlet to a place called Hevenor Lagoon. This lagoon is about 4 nautical miles (which is about 7.4 kilometers) southeast from the very end of the inlet.
Local Communities and Nature
Two special areas, called Indian Reserves, are located next to Hevenor Inlet. These are lands set aside for Indigenous peoples.
- Pitt Island 27 is on the north side of the inlet, close to its entrance.
- Ketai 28 is found about halfway down the south side of the inlet.
Hevenor Inlet is also famous for its many waterfalls. One amazing spot is called the Cascades. This is a series of waterfalls that flow one after another at the very end of the inlet. It's a beautiful sight to see!
