- ★★★★★over 3 years agoHidden spot in Amherst, has a little swimming beach area with a dock and a jumping dock with swing. Building with bathroom, upgraded portapotty basically. Kids playground. BBQ areas and fishing from benches if you can't get out on the water. We kayak and the kids find this water easy to maneuver in.
- ★★★★★about 2 years agoIt's such a beautiful place that allows you to just disconnect from the world and enjoy those around you!
- ★★★★★over 3 years agoRecently built new restrooms,added swimming area. Now adding dock also. Have licenses please if fishing,wardens visit often.
- ★★★★★over 2 years agoHave to say it would be a great place to fish BUT! 1. People DON'T pick up their trash. 2. That swing needs to be in swimming area. 3. People need to keep their dog's on a leash. 4. People in boat's, paddle board's & ect. Need to stay away from people fishing from bank. It's ridiculous when you have your fishing line out and people don't have sense or courtesy to not get close. I have never seen such disrespect for the land or other's as I do when fishing at mill creek. It would be nice to have signs where you can fish from bank.
- ★★★★★over 4 years agoThis park is deliciously hidden from mainstream knowledge and it's just gorgeous here. Amazing view of the mountains, shade and sun, huge lake for boating and fishing, and a swimming area! To top it all off, the restrooms are brand new and actually very nice.
