High water watch at the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area
Walking bridge over Summit Creek in CVWMA temporarily closed
From RDCK: May 28, 2026
“The BC River Forecast centre has issued a Flood Watch for the West Kootenay region which covers the entire Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK). High river flows are expected late Friday through Monday or Tuesday across the region. The current high end precipitation scenarios in weather models indicate the potential for flooding through the Kootenays.”
Because of the high-water flows, and potential for more moisture over the weekend in our area, the access over the bridge at Summit Creek in CVWMA is closed temporarily until further notice. Thank you for staying away from this area!
Please use caution around the creeks and rivers during this time.
