Crescent Valley

Your Southern Gateway To The Slocan River

Located along the Slocan River where the valley begins to open toward the Kootenay River, the village of Crescent Valley offers paddlers an inviting gateway to one of the most fun river routes in the West Kootenay region. From local beaches and easy shoreline access points, canoes, kayaks, paddleboards, and rafters can slip into the current and drift past cottonwood forests, quiet side channels, and wide gravel bars. The surrounding mountains and farmland create a peaceful backdrop, and wildlife sightings are common along the way. With the water so close by, and its easygoing pace, Crescent Valley is a perfect base for a fun adventure on the Slocan River.
