At 220-kilometres (140 miles) in length, the character of the river changes along its journey to Lake Koocanusa and meets up with several tributaries of equal charm and worth. The River Sourced from the Petain Glacier next to Mt Joffre on the British Columbia - Alberta border, the waters of the Elk River are filtered and clarified as they flow through the Elk Lakes north of Elkford, BC, resulting in Photo credit: Mike McPhee Photo credit: Mike McPhee a crystal clear waterway perfect for Trout. • From the town of Sparwood down, the river gains momentum and girth. From Sparwood to “Gerrits”, the river is known for big greedy Cutthroat, long boulder sections, countless riffles and deep corner holes.

  • District of Elkford: Climate Change Adaptation Strategy
    District of Elkford: Climate Change Adaptation Strategy Report for : District of Elkford, B.C., Canada Developed by: Karen Gorecki BSc, MPP Megan Walsh, BSc Env, MSc Env Mgmt. (2010) and Jeff Zukiwsky BTM, MRM Planning (2009) Executive Summary For several years, the Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) has been spearheading research on climate impacts in the Columbia Basin, supported by a team of scientists and planners, and in partnership with the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium (PCIC). The CBT observed that the impacts of climate change, and the vulnerability of communities to change, varied throughout the Basin. In 2008, the CBT recognized the need to support communities in identifying localized climate change projections and vulnerabilities, and in creating adaptation plans that would allow those communities to prepare for a much different future. The District of Elkford was one of two communities chosen to participate in Columbia Basin Trust’s Communities Adapting to Climate Change (CACC) initiative. For the District of Elkford, this initiative was integrated into an Official Community Plan (OCP) revision, which was to be completed ‘through a climate change lens.’ With support from PCIC, the Communities Adapting to Climate Change team (comprised of Karen Gorecki, Megan Walsh and Jeff Zukiwsky) developed a process that emphasized community and staff engagement, and the pairing of local knowledge with scientific data and projections to determine areas of priority for further climate impact research. Initial open houses revealed strong community concern for issues such as wildfire, road maintenance, stormwater management and water quality. The CACC research team used the public input and best available science to focus in on three priority areas: Wildfire, Flooding and Water Supply.
