Tucked along the banks of the Elk River, Elkton is a quiet corner of Giles County between Pulaski and Ardmore. The Matt Gardner Elk River Access Area makes it easy to spend the day fishing, kayaking, or simply enjoying the steady flow of the river.

​

A short walk or drive through brings you to the historic Elkton Bridge, built in 1924 and still standing as a reminder of the city's deep roots. Elkton's story stretches back generations, including the legacy of the Holt Elementary School, a Rosenwald school made possible through determination and unity of the local community. 

​

Peaceful, welcoming, and rich with quiet history. Elkton is a hidden gem worth exploring when you're ready to step off the main road and settle in by the river.
