The Elk City Reservoir is a manmade lake located 7 miles east of Elk City, Kansas, the dam that forms the lake was constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It has approximately 4,500 acres (18 km²) of water, and 12,000 acres (49 km²) of wildlife, and a total of over 50 miles (80 km) of shoreline. There are six hiking trails at the Elk City Reservoir, two of which are notable for receiving a National Trails designation.
