    The Kootenay River rises in Kootenay National Park in the Rocky Mountains in eastern British Columbia. Then it flows south towards the USA. At Wardner, he then flows into Lake Koocanusa Reservoir, which lies near the border between Canada and the United States. A little later, he crosses the border and takes in the rivers Fisher River, Yaak River and Moyie River. At Creston, he crosses the border into Canada and flows into Kootenay Lake. At Nelson he leaves the lake again and now flows to the southwest. At Castlegar he finally flows into the Columbia River. The Kootenay River is the southern boundary of the Purcell Mountains.
