-Owners Daron and Lisa Dean


After visiting Elk Springs resort in 2000, Lisa and Daron Dean discovered the property was on the market. They were so enchanted with it's accommodations and pristine trout fishing on the upper Elk River, they decided to purchase it. Now with a beautiful new 6 bedroom lodge, Elk Springs Resort is truly a destination for anglers, skiers, or anyone wanting to escape to the mountains. Located in rural Randolph County, Elk Springs offers beautiful accommodations, home style cooking, a fully stocked Orvis fly shop, and some of the best year-round trout fishing in the Eastern United States. If your looking for fly-fishing paradise, with excellent service and accommodations, Elk Springs Resort could be exactly what your looking for.
