Background info of MCA:
With the help of thousands of volunteers and 25+ years of restoration projects, Mill Creek, once called Mahketewah, is now sustaining a wide variety of fish such as walleye and white striped bass! The resurgence of the river is a true success story and it is time to reclaim our natural asset for summer fun, fishing, hiking, and adventure! Apply today and join us this summer!
