Elkford

Elkford straddles the Elk River near its confluence with the Fording River in southeastern British Columbia, a position that has tied the community closely to the working landscape of the Elk Valley. Set among the Canadian Rockies, it was developed in the early 1970s as a planned town for workers in the area’s metallurgical coal industry. The river valleys, conifer forests and mountain slopes place Elkford well beyond the busier routes of southern British Columbia, while the Elk River is widely known among anglers.
