Russell Creek
The Russell Creek riding area is a logging road situated in Kitchener, B.C., about 15 minutes east of Creston. Please be aware that active logging does take place in the area, so be sure to contact the local snowmobile club before heading off to snowmobile in this location. Russell Creek allows for relaxed family riding, connecting to the Birch Creek trail system and a seemingly endless network of terrain. Check out Powerline Hill, approximately 15 kilometres down the trail, if you want to take the family on a tobogganing side-trip. Be sure you are prepared for mountain riding by having proper snowmobile safety gear and education.
