Location
The Elk River Trail Head is located on Hwy 28 past Buttle Lake heading towards Gold River . The trail is 11km and is quite steep and rooty in places. The final 1 km of trail is a steep climb and there are sections of bare rock to navigate around. The reward is the view of the almost turquoise blue Landslide Lake . There is also a spectacular view of the conquered trail! Campsites are available approximately halfway along the trail and again just before Landslide Lake .

Prices
Backcountry camping costs $5.00 per person per night. Campers must register before they camp at vaults found at the trailheads. This also allows the Park Facility Operator to be aware of your entry location, date and general plans in case of an emergency.

Fires
Campfires are strictly forbidden in the extremely dry and delicate backcountry of Strathcona Park.
