'Kingcome Inlet' is one of the lesser principal
fjords of the
British Columbia Coast. It is sixth in sequence of the major saltwater fjords north from the
49th Parallel near
Vancouver and similar in width (2.5 km avg) to longer inlets such as
Knight Inlet and
Bute Inlet, but it is only 35 km in length from the mouth of the
Kingcome River to
Sutlej Channel, which ultimately connects around
Broughton Island to the main regional waterway of the
Queen Charlotte Strait. Kingcome Inlet has a short side inlet, Wakeman Sound, fed the Wakeman River.
