The 4,500 acre Elk City Reservoir and the 12,000 acre wildlife area adjacent to the park offer outdoor lovers ample room to pursue their favorite pastimes. Campgrounds at Elk City offer an array of well shaded sites appealing to recreational vehicles or primitive campers. Conveniently located restrooms and shower-houses, swimming beach group shelters, fishing piers, exercise trail, disc golf, 18 hole par 3 golf course, kids fishing pond, playgrounds, horseshoe pits, basketball goals and a 3 lane boat ramp offers popular amenities for park visitors.
