The fjord is a maximum of {{convert|12|km}} long (including the Nordgulen branch), terminating at the village of Svelgen in the east. The Svelgen river is one of the primary inflows of the fjord.{{cite encyclopedia|title=Gulen – fjord |encyclopedia=Store norske leksikon|editor-last=Godal | editor-first=Anne Marit | editor-link=Anne Marit Godal |publisher=Norsk nettleksikon |url=http://snl.no/Gulen_fjord |language=Norwegian|accessdate=30 September 2012}}
