Elk Creek Reservoir is the oldest reservoir within the Inland NW, and looks more like a natural lake than a man made reservoir of 10' to 50' deep. Created in 1898 as a logging pond. Near by Elk Creek Falls is a impressive series of falls just a short distance from the city of Elk River and Elk Creek Reservoir. From the parking lot there are several well-marked trails to the falls, one of which is a wide old wagon trail. There are 3 major falls.
