Millstone Creek (East Branch)

The East Branch of Millstone Creek is a wild and rugged trout stream that flows through one of the most picturesque valleys in the southern forest. The creek is flanked by massive sandstone boulders and dense thickets of rhododendron, which create a stunning floral display in early July. It is a legendary cold-water fishery, prized by anglers for its population of wild brown trout and its challenging, technical water. The valley is characterized by its steep, shaded slopes and a sense of primeval isolation that makes it a favorite for those looking to escape the more developed recreation areas.
