Lots of ducks, geese and a crane live there and it you're lucky you'll see a few otters. The trail has 2 benches and there's 2 fishing docks available. One of the docks has a safety fence around it. I included some scenery photos I've taken of the pond throughout the last few months.

Pretty amazing day and would do it again. When we got back, my fish was filleted and I had it vacuumed sealed and frozen at the store. They boiled and cleaned the crabs as well... My wife booked this for me and said multiple times how great everyone she talked to treated her. Jeez, no all that is left is for us to eat the halibut and crab. Great people, great experience all lead to a "highly recommend".

Came here today with fishing friend who did some actual fishing. Nothing was caught (fish 1 -…read morehumans 0), but it was really OK, and I thoroughly enjoyed sitting in my camping chair and watching the fish jump in the air and the world passing by. A few other people were down on the dock casting for fish, others sat on the various rock formations sort of zoning out, and it was a real pleasure to see the children and parents sharing something they really loved. If the youngsters aren't interested in the fishing, they can come down and feed the ducks - such fun. The water is so clear you can see down to rocks and plants on the bottom and also nearest the dock flashes of the goldfish as they glide along (these goldfish eventually grow into some very large carp). There are evidently some sturgeon as well along with the rainbow trout, and also lots of ducks and other water birds (a few still with babies). Oh yes, lots of dragonflies - flashes of black and fiery orange red - add to the charm. People who fish welcome you right into their society and talk readily about their fishing experiences and how the big one got away and even why. This is a terrific family experience and for those who want to come out alone. The best time is to come early, before 7, and especially after the lake has been re-stocked, if you want to catch some fish. But like I said, it's a wonderful experience whether fish are caught or not. Give it a try. And remember if you don't catch any fish, you can hike back up to the shopping center above and get some breakfast. Not a bad day at all, in fact a damn fine one if you ask me.

Today, paths and parks parallel much of the waterway. Waller Dam, built around 1864 and modified in 1915, split Mill Creek into this millrace and what is sometimes referred to as North Mill Creek. The millrace flows through the Willamette Heritage Center, where you can take a tour of the old Thomas Kay Woolen Mill and then the Willamette University campus. There is also a fish ladder as part of the dam to allow anadromous fish to pass. A small park, there is also a picnic table and a small grassy area. Not a spectacular park, but is an interesting part of the history of Salem.

There's also a climbing wall, zip line kinda thing, and a really big sand lot with a volcano-kinda thing in the middle that is deceptively difficult to walk up because the sand makes it slippery! PLUS there's a splash pad water fountain wet area! That part is not open year round. I mean it's open, but the fountains aren't running in the winter. All this is surrounded by covered picnic tables, very large grassy areas, walking paths covered by trees. Car parking. Bicycle parking. Clean bathrooms. Friendly clientele. We entered from the east side of the park where there is pedestrian access. On the west side of the park near the vehicle entrance, there is a skate park! And 4 half basketball courts, plus a boulder, I guess for bouldering.
