Southgate River, Brook in Pacific Ranges of Coast Mountains, Canada.

The Southgate River extends 65 kilometers through British Columbia's mountainous terrain, flowing from Good Hope Mountain into Bute Inlet.

Captain James Johnson Southgate, who settled in Victoria in 1859 and served in the Legislative Assembly of Vancouver Island, gave his name to this river.

The Homalco indigenous people maintain strong connections to the Southgate River watershed, where their communities have existed for many generations.

The river system includes multiple tributaries, with the Bishop River serving as the primary water source contributing to its flow.

In 2020, a rainfall-triggered landslide created a 100-meter-high megatsunami that traveled 60 kilometers down the river toward Bute Inlet.
