Elkin can boast a segment of the historic Overmountain Victory Trail, a Federal linear park, which follows the route of the Overmountain Men as they made their way to the Battle of King’s Mountain in the Revolutionary War. This trail begins at Elkin Municipal Park and currently runs west along the Yadkin River. The Elkin Valley Trails Association is working with the Overmountain Victory Trail Association to enhance and extend this trail.
