Kettle Valley is on the south side of the Kettle River in the Boundary region of south central British Columbia. [1] The unincorporated settlement, on Kettle Valley Rd S. (off BC Highway 3), is by road about 29 kilometres (18 mi) west of Greenwood and 56 kilometres (35 mi) east of Osoyoos.
The name came from the Kettle Valley Railway presence.
The former train station, on the north side of the Kettle River, was 14.2 kilometres (8.8 mi) northwest of Midway, and 4.7 kilometres (2.9 mi) east of Rock Creek. [2] The final passenger train ran in 1964. [3]
