If you like fishing, Elkford is definitely a favorite of many! Not only do the Elk and Fording Rivers and all their tributaries contain excellent fishing, but there are an abundance of alpine lakes in the area that offer some great fishing as well as beautiful scenery. Some of these lakes are fairly close to a road whereas some will require a couple hour hike into some of the most spectacular Rocky Mountain country there is. The fish found in these lakes are Cutthroat, Rainbow Trout, Brook Trout, and Dolly Varden.
