Information (lat, lng, elev, total drop, run length, shuttle length) adjusted and/or verified from best manual extrapolation of online data (via maps.google.com, distance measuring tool, and other resources). 2009.02.06 The resolution on Google Maps for this area is pretty good. Go to the 'Map' tab, click 'USGS Aerial' 'Satellite', double-click near the put-in, zoom in to the maximum resolution available (without losing image), and do a 'virtual walk' of this reach! General Overview Brendan Hammond offers (2009.04.22): _Mill Creek, west of Stevens Point, is a spring run for any Stevens Point/Marshfield area boaters. It consists of primarily 3 Class II rapids. One is almost a half mile long of fun continuous waves when high._ _The put-in is Robin Lane and the takeout is at the confluence of the creek and the Wisconsin River at "Rusty’s Backwater Saloon", where the creek is a backwater of the Wisconsin River. There is a boat landing where an old bridge was removed, so it’s at the end of Rusty’s driveway. I believe the road is West River Road._ A slightly longer run is possible, putting in at County Highway C, and reportedly picking up one additional rapids. Thanks, Brendan!
