Somass River

Its drainage basin is 1,412 square kilometres (545 sq mi) in size.

[1] The river's name comes from a Nuu-chah-nulth word meaning "washing".

The Stamp River flowing out of Great Central Lake and Sproat River join to form the Somass River, which flows generally southeast and south into Alberni Inlet and the harbour of Port Alberni.

[2] The river crosses Highway 4 outside of Port Alberni in Tseshaht First Nation territory.
