	Elk River (East Tennessee) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Elk River actually rises in Avery County, North Carolina just south of the small community of Elk Park, North Carolina on U.S. Highway 19E.
		Just before the Elk River crosses into Tennessee it flows over "Big Falls" (also called "Elk Falls"), a locally-known attraction which is approximately a 40 foot (12 m) drop.
		It then flows down a narrow, relatively steep valley to the tiny community of Elk Mills, which is named for a former water-powered mill built on this river at this point by early white settlers.
