Just 3 miles north of Port Orford is the spectacularly beautiful and natural Elk River. With it's old growth forests and emerald waters, this watershed is one of the most pristine in the entire country. Also home to Oregon's most successful Chinook Salmon hatchery. This river offers a nature lover's paradise with swimming, fishing, boating, picnicking and camping. The road along the river provides a perfect place to take a long and leisurely bike ride too through some of the most beautiful scenery and canyons anywhere!
