Elk River

Upper arm feeding Grand Lake from the northeast — bluffs and protected water.

The Elk River flows into the upper end of Grand Lake from Missouri. Scenic bluffs, protected coves, and less traffic than the main lake body.

The Elk River arm is more river than lake as you head upstream — a favorite for paddlers, fly-fishers, and anyone looking to get away from summer weekend traffic.
