The Zymagotitz River is a tributary of the Skeena River located in the North Coast Regional District of the province of British Columbia, Canada. It originates in the Kitimat Ranges of the Coast Mountains, and flows south and west about 45 km (28 mi) to the Skeena River,[4][6] about 10 km (6.2 mi) downriver from Terrace and about 100 km (62 mi) east of Prince Rupert.[1]
Its watershed covers 389 km2 (150 sq mi),[5] and its mean annual discharge is 24.2 m3/s (850 cu ft/s).[5]
The Zymagotitz River's watershed is within the traditional territory of the Tsimshian Kitsumkalum people. Part of the watershed is currently under negotiation for aboriginal title according to the British Columbia Treaty Process, under which the Kitsumkalum First Nation is in the fifth of six stages.[7][8][9]
