Review & FAQ:
Tucked away in a 290-acre environmental preserve, Merrill Creek Reservoir is a secluded lake ideal for hiking, fishing and boating. Swimming is not permitted in the reservoir, but visitors can fish from rowboats, electric motor boats, or the shore. The lake is stocked with trout and bass, and there are plenty of coves and inlets that can be explored by canoe or by kayak. Six nature trails of varying difficulty can be found around the lake, and hikers will have the chance to spot a wide variety of wildlife including bear, deer, foxes, and bald eagles.
