Hevenor Inlet extends eastward from Petrel Channel on the northwest side of Pitt Island, British Columbia, Canada. [2]
The inlet is entered between Stark Point [3] and Hevenor Point, [4] and contains Clark [5] and Hevenor [6] islets. A narrow entrance connects the inlet to Hevenor Lagoon [7] 4 nautical miles (7.4 km; 4.6 mi) southeast of the head of the inlet. [8]
Two Indian Reserves adjoin the inlet, Pitt Island 27 [9] on the north shore near the entrance, and Ketai 28 [10] midway down the south shore.
Hevenor Inlet is surrounded by waterfalls, including the Cascades, a linear series of waterfalls at the head of the inlet.
