Jervis Inlet, Deep fjord inlet in British Columbia, Canada

The steep-walled Jervis Inlet extends 89 kilometers from the Skwawka River to the Strait of Georgia, reaching depths of 670 meters beneath sea level.

George Vancouver named this inlet during his 1791 expedition in honor of Rear Admiral Sir John Jervis, who commanded British naval operations.

The shíshálh People maintained settlements along these waters prior to European arrival, using the inlet's resources for their traditional way of life.

The BC Ferries service connects Earls Cove to Saltery Bay across the inlet, providing essential transportation for vehicles and passengers in the region.

James Bruce Falls and Alfred Creek Falls cascade down the inlet's flanks, measuring 840 and 700 meters respectively, ranking among Canada's highest waterfalls.
