Elkford
Population 2,900 - Elevation 1300m/4,265 ft
Elkford’s picturesque setting at the junction
of Boivin Creek and the Elk River is home to a wide variety of wildlife. It is the
preferred habitat of more bighorn sheep than anywhere in North America. Mountain goats
traverse craggy cliffs leaving forested reaches to black bear and elk herds.
Moose and deer can be seen in town and fishing is excellent in
the Elk and Fording River watersheds. Only 70 km separates Elkford from one of the largest
wilderness parks in Western Canada. Vehicle accessible only in summer, Elk Lakes
Provincial Park’s outstanding montane landscapes, shimmering lakes and remnant
glaciers are contained within more than 17,000 hectares of unforgettable sub-alpine
scenery.
Shops, restaurants, community parks, trail riding, a 9-hole gem of a
golf course, more than 30 km of interpretive hiking trails, and an extensive mountain bike
network are local highlights.
