yes, you can park here. we're exactly 1 mile off the Highway, 2nd house on the left past the sawmill. If the dogs bite, they're not our dogs :D

We may have been able to go up to devils canyon to put in, but we were doubting that seriously yesterday so decided to opt for the non-devils canyon put in.

About 2 miles up 215 from the mill creek bridge is a national forest sign on the right, and the old rock church/house on the left as spoken of in the fish pages.

Just past the rock house/church there is a dirt road on the left. You can go down the road for a bit before having to park, but then you have to walk in about the same distance as for little mill.

very very scenic and very fun! I must admit I was pleasantly surprised.

is that the road for Mormon Cr.? theres an old logging road that goes down the left side of Mormon down to Mill, actually never thought of dragging down that. The Devils Canyon drag is too much for me i think. I'm guessing theres something off the West side of Mill but have never explored it

Gauge on little mill and mill say it's going up guessing this has no actual correlation to the creeks just the mulberry on the rise?

yeah those are gauged off the Mulberry gauge overthe hill on the lower end of the river. L. Mill has dropped more since this morning and is below what i call minimum.
