Located just south of Cowles and a few miles northeast of Red Cloud, Elm Creek WMA features excellent turkey and deer habitat. The stream itself is a good fishing spot and one of the few places in Nebraska to fish for trout. According to Nebraska Game & Parks' Daryl Bauer,  "The best time to fish Elm Creek would be spring and fall. That is when the trout stockings occur." 

Baseball and softball are popular pastimes in this community. Illian Field is busy during the season, and you can always find a league to join ranging from t-ball to fast pitch baseball and softball. For information about local leagues, call Jolene Kugler at 402-257-7458. Red Cloud has hosted some of baseballs greats like Cy Young, Dazzy Vance, and Clarence Mitchell to name a few.
