ABOUT THE TOWN OF ELK LAKE

Elk Lake is a community of about 500 people at the junction of Highways 65 and 560, on the banks of the Montreal River.

Where the river really widens out to the size of a lake is referred to as ELK LAKE.

The town straddles the shore of the Montreal River, which makes for some beautiful views, especially when the sun shines off the shimmering water.

Equally anglophone and francophone, Elk Lake sits at the western edge of the Temiskaming Clay Belt and is primarily a forestry town.

The town and the area offers 'great outdoors' adventures for residents and visitors alike.

This is an area rich with year round outdoor activities for the adventurous recreational property owner.

Hiking, skiing, boating, swimming, fishing, hunting and snowmobiling are activities available in abundance.

It is obvious that the big game and small game hunting is good and very popular as we observed many hunters going to the Crown lands to do their hunting.
