Are you looking to just get away to a place where the nearest Wal-Mart is 50 miles away? Where the nearest gas station is 15 miles away? Where the deer eat from your hand and the trout rise like boiling water? We have the place for you – Elk Springs Resort in Monterville, West Virginia. We offer cabins from comfortable rustic to the most luxurious. Enjoy fine dining beside the Elk River, with a menu of fresh rainbow trout caught daily from our own hatchery and filleted daily. We offer breakfast, lunch and dinner.

You can book a guided fly-fishing trip with the best guides West Virginia can offer. Trips to remote areas or walk just outside the resort door to the mill pool of the Elk River. Brook trout, brown trout and rainbows will excite you as they fight the end of your line. During May, the sulfur hatch is compared to the hatches of the west. You will experience stonefly, blue wings and many other hatches throughout the year, making this a year round fly-fishing adventure. You can catch trout twelve months out of the year just a stone’s throw from your cabin. Elk Spring Resort also offers stocked ponds for trout-by-the-pound. You can take the whole family to our pay ponds, catch trout from 2 pounds to 10 pounds, take them back to your cabin and have a dinner of the freshest rainbows you have ever experienced. Or bring your fish to the restaurant and have us do the cooking. Our hatchery supplies trout to such prestigious restaurants as the Greenbrier Inn, The Sportsman’s Club in White Sulphur Springs and the livery in Lewisburg. We take much pride in the way our trout are hatched, raised and handpicked for each establishment and you too can enjoy the same fish on your plate.

Elk Springs Resort has an onsite fly shop that rivals the major fishing chains with products from Sage, Redington, Orvis, Ross, Scott and Simms just to name a few. Our retail associates have many years of experience in the fly-fishing field and can answer any questions from what to wear to what is hatching on any given day. We offer the convenience of purchasing your West Virginia resident or nonresident license at our shop, be suited up and on the river in minutes.

When the day has turned to night, you can sit by a campfire or join us for live entertainment at our bar area. Music by local and traveling bands, as well as a Las Vegas magician who will dazzle you at with close-up magic.

No need to leave the area for entertainment, but if you do feel the urge to explore, the area offers the Green Bank Observatory, Snowshoe Mountain Resort, The Scenic Highway, miles of trails in the Monongahela National Forest, the Greenbriar Trail and Cass Railway trips up to Bald Knob. There is more than enough to see for the whole family in just a twenty-five mile range.
