EspañolELK RIVER (KANSAS)
The 'Elk River' is a tributary of the Verdigris River in southeastern Kansas in the United States. Via the Verdigris and Arkansas Rivers, it is part of the Mississippi River watershed.
The Elk River is formed by a collection of intermittent streams in northwestern Elk County, and flows for about 80 mi (130 km)[1], generally ESE through Elk and Montgomery Counties, past the towns of Elk Falls, Longton and Elk City. It joins the Verdigris River at the northern edge of the city of Independence.
Between Elk City and Independence, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dam causes the river to form Elk City Lake. A state park and federal lands along the lake offer recreation, including three National Recreation Trails.
