The town of Creston is situated in the southeast corner of British Columbia, between the Selkirk and Purcell Mountains. In the centre of the Kootenays, Creston offers a rural setting that is close in proximity to larger communities in British Columbia, Alberta and the United States. Highway 3 that crosses southern British Columbia, Highway 3A paralleling Kootenay Lake, and Highway 21 to the United States all radiate Creston.

Creston is located on gently rolling bench land above the Kootenay River and overlooking 12,000 hectares of reclaimed marshland - some of the most fertile land in the province. Creston's beautiful mountains, rivers, lakes, orchards and forests all make for an ideal natural setting.
