About
Miller Creek was expanded in the spring of 2018 to include 21 new sites with plenty of options along the lakefront and through the forest. This site is nicely situated among the fir and hemlock with a great beach for summer activities. With this site being so close to town, it is a popular destination. The day-use area includes a beach, boat launch and dock. There is a trail that leads to the narrows and a fishing hole while old roads provide hiking opportunities. Lots of nooks and crannies on the lake to explore too!
Please pack out what you pack in as there are no garbage disposal services at Miller Creek.
