 Elk Falls, KS
Elk Falls is located in southern Elk County [EK] between the Elk River and Wildcat Creek.  The town's site at the falls of the Elk is as pretty as any in Kansas, but the natural beauty does not explain all of the fascination outsiders have for the town:
Elk Falls is not your typical tourist destination!  To say that we're off the beaten path is probably an understatement.  But what you see is not all you get!  Remember, this is a living ghost town - much of what used to be here is gone, but we ain't dead yet!
The delights of Elk Falls are subtle and often elusive.  Many folks are here and gone before Elk Falls has a chance to seep into their consciousness.  Slow down.  Feel the soothing tranquility of the Falls.  Sit a spell.  Relax a bit.  Savor every sight, every sound.  Breathe deep.  Visit with a new friend.
