About Mill Creek State Historic Park
Nature trails and scenic overlooks provide a view of the wildlife and natural resources of this site, while the working sawmill and visitor center give a look at the rich history of the Straits of Mackinac and Mackinac Island. Most of Mill Creek State Historic Park is densely wooded and covered by one of the following five forest types: northern hardwoods, upland aspen, lowland aspen, mixed pine, or lowland cedar swamp. **Mill Creek is open early May through mid-October.** Call ahead or visit the park’s Web site for a schedule of events and activities within the park.

Three and a half miles of nature trails meander through the park's 625 wooded acres. Hike the Beaver Pond Trail to see the dams and lodges of several families of Beavers. Watch for these shy mammals at dawn and dusk. Deer, grouse, and woodcock may be seen on the Aspen-Wildlife Forest Trail. Watch for Barred or Great Horned Owls in the trees along the Sugar Shack Forest Trail. Listen for the songs of Ovenbirds, American Redstarts, Black-throated Green Warblers, Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, Veerys, and other forest songbirds as you explore the park. Enjoy the living history and natural history programs presented on the hour throughout the day by the park’s historic interpreters and naturalists. From [|Mill Creek State Historic Park web site]
