The Creston Valley - a hidden gem, nestled between majestic mountain ranges, just waiting to be discovered.

Each year, more people are discovering our warm climate, the wide, fertile expanse of the valley, crystal clear rivers and lakes, and mountain scenery. Centrally located in the Kootenays, Creston, BC is just over an hour west of Cranbrook, BC and an hour and a half east of Nelson via the Kootenay Pass. If you prefer the scenic route to Nelson, you can enjoy a leisurely drive along our spectacular Kootenay Lake and catch the ferry ride across.

Not only does Creston have breathtaking scenery, it offers so much more. Creston’s agricultural heritage provides the community with beautiful orchards and fresh produce. Visit www.crestonbc.com and take a photo tour of our beautiful town and outlying areas.
