Sproule Creek
Sproule Creek
Sproule Creek is a named watercourse that flows south into the West Arm of Kootenay Lake just west of Nelson, British Columbia.
The creek lends its name to Sproule Creek Road, which serves as the primary access route into the valley, and to the trailhead located near the end of that road roughly 7 kilometres from Highway 3A.
The Sproule Creek trail follows a historic wagon road up to an old mill site, tracing the creek through forest with multiple bridge crossings.
The round-trip route covers approximately 9–10 kilometres with around 200–260 metres of elevation gain, rated easy to moderate and typically accessible from mid-April through early November.
Hikers should note that as of fall 2025 the trail is closed due to unsafe bridges, with repairs planned for spring 2026.
