You are allowed to go fishing here. Rarely the water is to low so you can't. And I personally wouldn't go while it's raining hard cause it's a spillway and they could open the flood gate at any time but they do have sirens though for that reason.

We frequent Elk City Lake because of how clean and well kept it is. Such a wonderful outdoors place to spend quality time with family and friends while enjoying the advantage of the picture perfect landscape. Very nice recreational destination that people of all ages can enjoy!

Site 14 wasn't level. It took some time to get travel trailer level. Nice fire ring and cooking grates. Enjoyed fishing in the Outlet Channel. It only cost $8 to camp one night with golden age pass. There are nice trails on the east side of the channel. The restrooms where clean. Nice plaground for kids. Nice basketball court with ball supplied.
