Elk River’s municipal water system obtains its drinking water from the Elk Creek watershed, an area approximately 23 square miles in size. The Elk Creek watershed has been disturbed and changed from its historical condition by wildfire, road building, timber harvest, grazing, and recreational impacts. Each of these disturbances has increased stream bank erosion and sediment delivery to streams, thus degrading water quality. Increased sediment in creeks within the watershed has been attributed to grazing and ATV usage (USFS, 2006).

· Please, stay on designated roads and trails; when crossing streams, remember to tread lightly.

· Don’t contaminant the watershed and its streams with trash.

· Use designated restroom facilities.
