What visitors say
Mixed reviewsMill Creek Landing offers a fishing pier, beach access, and a separate fishing dock with ample parking, but the boat ramp is frequently plagued by sand accumulation that makes launching difficult except at high tide and limits use to smaller vessels. The ramp is shallow and requires high water levels to accommodate larger boats and jet skis, though recent dredging has temporarily improved conditions. The beach area contains tidepools and wildlife but is partially blocked by private property signs, and the facility lacks amenities like restrooms or trash cans.
