Goat River (Kootenay)

Goat River (Kootenay)

The Goat River is a major tributary of the Kootenay River, joining that river at the town of Creston, British Columbia. Approximately 65 km in length, it rises in the central Purcell Mountains just south of Mallandaine Pass and flows largely south until bending southwest towards Creston. Its lower reaches are the route of the southern mainline of the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Crowsnest Highway.
