August 7, 2025

The public is advised that there is a dangerous log jam in the Elk River (near the Stanford Inn on river left) making this area not safe for users. Signage is in place upriver of the log jam advising users to exit the river.

There are additional known log jams behind the Transfer Station. Fernie Search and Rescue recommends floaters stick bridge to bridge to avoid these dangerous log jams.
