Mill Creek Park brings fishing, paddling, and a connected trail system into downtown Dexter. The park occupies land around the former mill-pond impoundment and offers a convenient outdoor stop close to local businesses.
Fishing at Mill Creek
Brown Trout have been stocked in Mill Creek, but stocking numbers and fish populations vary over time. Use the Michigan DNR’s fish-stocking database for the latest available records.
Do not assume that an unclassified stream is automatically open under the same rules all year. Check the current Michigan fishing regulations and trout and salmon maps for seasons, gear restrictions, size limits, and possession limits before fishing.
Park features
The City of Dexter describes Mill Creek Park North as a 2.15-acre green space with a paved path and wetland habitat. Mill Creek Park South covers roughly four acres in the former impoundment and includes non-motorized launch access, trails, natural areas, and fishing docks. See the city’s parks and trails page for current details.
- Use the designated non-motorized access for kayaks and canoes.
- Stay on established paths and use developed fishing access where available.
- Check current city notices before your trip because downtown events or road work can affect parking.
