Rock Creek

Pines, Paddles & Play

Rock Creek blends frontier spirit with easygoing charm, sitting at the junction of Highway 3 and 33. With riverside access, trail connections and a strong sense of community, it’s a natural hub for recreation and rural living.

From floating the Kettle River to walking market aisles or pedalling the rail trail, Rock Creek is a place to slow down and soak it all in. With local campgrounds, heritage charm and easy access to both forest and farmland, it’s a Boundary Country classic that keeps people coming back for quiet mornings and open skies.

A Rock Creek Favourite

At the turn of the last century when gold had been discovered in Rock Creek, the Lum Family turned a log building into a laundry and Trading Post for the Chinese miners (circa 1880). The family ran their business until 1927. Now, Scott and Shirley Petrie are the very proud owners of the Rock Creek Trading Post. They produce small batch, roasted fair trade coffee and are expanding the menu to accommodate everyone's cravings. This is a Rock Creek treasure!
