Boundary

Historic sites and natural beauty

This southern stretch of country encompasses a section of the Kettle River Valley on the Canada-US border where historic sites and natural beauty compete for attention. Boundary Country remains true to its heritage with some of the best-preserved period architecture in B.C. Communities reflect their origins in mining, railway building and agriculture. Former rail lines invite hiking and biking while lakes, rivers, forested highlands and easy access to Mt. Baldy Ski Area provide opportunities for more outdoor recreation. Boundary Country includes the communities and hamlets of Beaverdell, Bridesville, Carson, Christina Lake, Grand Forks, Greenwood, Kettle Valley, Midway, Rock Creek and Westbridge.
