Cascade Inlet

Cascade Inlet is a fjord in the North Coast region of the Canadian province of British Columbia. It extends northwest from Dean Channel.[1] It was first charted in 1793 by George Vancouver and Spelman Swaine during their 1791-95 expedition. Vancouver named it “Cascade Channel” due to the great number of waterfalls he saw along its sides when he first explored the inlet.[2]
