What's so special
about Miller Creek?
Miller Creek is located within Duluth and
Hermantown. The watershed is approximately 10 square
miles and originates from headwater wetlands. Click Here for more
information about this watershed (exits to
DuluthStreams.org). The upper
portion of Miller Creek is the least developed but also has fast growing
development pressure. There has been a lot of analysis
on this watershed and this should prove to be useful when
developing the TMDL. Miller Creek is one of 12 designated
trout streams within Duluth City limits.
