**Cascade Inlet**[1] is a [fjord](/source/Fjord) in the [North Coast](/source/British_Columbia_Coast) region of the [Canadian province](/source/Provinces_and_territories_of_Canada) of [British Columbia](/source/British_Columbia). It extends northwest from [Dean Channel](/source/Dean_Channel).[2] It was first charted in 1793 by [George Vancouver](/source/George_Vancouver) and Spelman Swaine during their [1791-95 expedition](/source/Vancouver_Expedition). Vancouver named it "Cascade Channel" due to the great number of [waterfalls](/source/Waterfall) he saw along its sides when he first explored the inlet.[3]
