The Elk River
The Elk River is a beautiful river that
flows for 172 miles through central West
Virginia. As a major tributary of the
Kanawha River, the Elk River is the
longest river in West Virginia. This
pristine West Virginia River begins high
in the Allegheny Mountains in Pocahontas
County, near the community of Slatyfork.
It begins where two short streams, Big
Spring Fork and Old Field Fork, join and
flow for a few miles before flowing
underground for more than 5 miles.
Flowing underground in a network of
caverns and channels, the Elk River once
flowed above ground as the land above
ground is filled with smooth, solid
rocks in a section commonly referred to
as "The Dries".
The Elk River in West Virginia flows in
a westward course and forms beautiful
Sutton Lake via a dam managed by the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The best
West Virginia Trout Fishing waters are
located in the upper section of the Elk
River, above Sutton Lake West Virginia,.
Here the waters are cold and the Elk
River's rich alkaline environment help
the native mountain trout to thrive and
spawn. Below Sutton Lake West Virginia
the Elk River's waters are warmer
creating some great areas to fish for
not only walleye but also smallmouth
bass. Several avid anglers try their
hand at West Virginia Musky Fishing here
as well, however they can be elusive. |
