Elk Lakes Provincial Park, Provincial park and nature reserve in East Kootenay, Canada.
Elk Lakes Provincial Park contains sub-alpine landscapes with remnant glaciers, productive lakes, and numerous peaks across the western Rocky Mountains.

The Alpine Club of Canada operates facilities within the park, including a public lodge that serves as a base for outdoor education programs.
