The Elk River flows 220 kilometres until reaching the Lake Koocanusa reservoir by the U.S.-Canada border. It is managed as a "Quality Waters Fishery," which is open to fishing with certain regulations so as to help with larger, healthier fish populations. There's also summer rafting, with rapids near Fernie, and a mellower river float.
