Masset Inlet

Masset Inlet is a broad saltwater bay in the lowlands of northern Graham Island, at the heart of Haida Gwaii. The Yakoun River and smaller streams flow into it, while a narrow sound connects it to the open waters of Dixon Entrance. Near that passage stood the Haida villages of Uttewas, Edajo and Ka-yung. In the age of maritime fur trading, American ships called the inlet Hancock's River, after a trading brig.
