Elk River –

Trout, Bass, Walleye, and Muskie  Fishing and Rafting. A gem among trout streams. A fertile, alkaline, aquatic environment, the Elk River is a limestone influenced stream with free stone structure. Has a 5-mile stretch of headwater that is commonly referred to as the "Slatyfork" section. After an underground journey of about 6 miles, it re-emerges at Elk Springs, pumping up out of three huge springheads, sweetened by its subterranean limestone causeway and cooled to a trout-friendly 52 degrees. Because of three large springs, the Elk River is a true 12-month fishery.

The mighty Elk River meanders the entire length of Clay County with 46 miles of kayaking, canoeing, tubing, swimming, and fishing excitement.
