CAUTION: River conditions change daily and even hourly. All assessments of conditions or suitability assume normal summertime flow, normal physical abilities, and some level of experience. You are responsible for knowing your physical condition, being prepared, and making safe decisions.

Elk River is shallow in many places and may not be suitable for boats with outboard motors.

All river accesses may be muddy. Exercise caution to avoid slipping. 

Be courteous when parking. After unloading/loading, park in an area that will permit others easy access to load/unload and then park. 

PLEASE do not litter. CARRY IN/CARRY OUT.

Respect private property so that our access rights are not revoked.

Do not trespass in areas outside the parking/access areas.

Estimates of parking spaces, distances and ease of access are all opinions and not based upon any scientific methodology.

North of Clendenin, DO NOT count on cell service being available except near towns.

All directions and distances are approximate (although close) and may depend on which side of the interstate you exit. 

"Private property" means nonpublic  landowners permitting the public to use their land to access the river free of charge.

Details regarding Area Amenities may be found on the Trail Town tab for the Nearest Town.
