North River Access provides foot trail access to a remote delayed harvest trout section below Elkhorn Dam, extending 1. 5 miles downstream to Staunton City Reservoir.

Access is available by parking at Elkhorn Lake and following the trail along the lake to the spillway—this is a foot-traffic-only access point with no vehicle parking directly at the stream.

This section is managed under special catch-and-release regulations from October through May and offers a secluded fishing experience for those willing to hike in.
