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.
