BY ROAD
Highway 3, the main highway serving southern British Columbia, links Creston to BC's west coast and, to the East, is our connector to southern Alberta. Heading north from Creston, Highway 3A leads to the longest free ferry ride in North America that crosses Kootenay Lake. Once across the lake, Highway 3A continues to the west and Highway 31 goes north to connect with the westbound Highway 6. South of Creston, Highway 21 is the 11-km stretch of road to the Canada/United States border that crosses into the State of Idaho.
Greyhound Bus Lines offers bus service twice daily to the east (Calgary, Lethbridge, etc.) And twice daily to the west (Kelowna, Vancouver, etc.)
