Rock Creek is located east of Osoyoos on the Crowsnest Highway #3 and sits at the junction of Hwy #3 and Hwy #33. Highway #33 joins Westbridge, Beaverdell and Big White Ski Resort and carries on to Kelowna in the central Okanagan.

Rock Creek’s beginnings like many of the communities in the Boundary Country can be traced back to the glory days of gold rushes and mining activity. A trade route was established between Rock Creek and the BC Coast to carry supplies in to Rock Creek and the silver, zinc, lead and copper out for processing. The establishment of these now abandoned railroads now comprises parts of the Trans Canada Trail. There is excellent hiking and cycling trails along the old Kettle Valley Railway line, which can be accessed at several points just off the main highway.

Rock Creek is well known for it’s Annual Rock Creek and Boundary Fall Fair in September and it’s referred to as “The best little Country Fair Around”. During the long weekend in August the Sky High Blues Festival takes place. The area around Rock Creek is home to an abundance of wildlife and recreational opportunities as well as some productive fishing at many of its small lakes and creek mouths. If you are looking for information on anything going on in Rock Creek while you are there, be sure to stop in at the Petro Canada gas station.
