About this site

Source

Out in the Beaverfoot Valley, Kootenay Crossing is a small open site with fishing nearby and little else around it.

The 3 spots are first come, first served on gravel access, and the site is user maintained.

Spillimacheen is about 16 km away and the nearest fuel about 23 km, a gap worth closing before you drive in. The Ochre Beds and Paint Pots trailhead is about 19 km off, and Dainard Lake about 7 km.
