Fishing at the Lowman Nature Fishing Ponds is a popular activity for all ages. There are two ponds stocked with trout during the spring and summer. These ponds are located about one half mile east of Elk Run.

Swimming, fishing, and rafting on the South fork of the Payette river is a great way to enjoy your stay.

Kirkham Hot Springs is only one of the hot springs near Elk Run. Located six miles west of the campground.

Whether you are looking for birds or maybe something a little bigger the forest around Lowman is full of wildlife.
