The Little Elk Wildlife Management area, managed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, is located near the small town of Randall. A dike on the river created a 400-acre wetland that attracted waterfowl. That dike was breached after extraordinary rainfall in 1999, draining the wetland. Four years later, construction began on a new, improved dike using federal and state grant money.[2]

Until the construction of the Little Falls Dam, there was a water power mill at the mouth of the Little Elk River.^{[citation needed]}
