The Elk River originates from the Elk Lakes near the Continental Divide in the Rocky Mountains. It flows through the Elk Valley in a southwesterly direction, joining the Kootenay River in Lake Koocanusa, just north of the British Columbia-Montana border.
The Elk River runs through the communities of Elkford, Sparwood, Hosmer, Fernie, and Elko.
