There is a paved walking trail around the lake. The trail is is around 2.5km long. There is also a foot bridge along the eastern shoreline.
Fishing can be done at almost any point along the lake shoreline. The easiest sections are the south shoreline, the dock by the boat launch on the north shore and the foot bridge on the east side.

Fishing Season
Fishing can be done year round at Mill Lake, but the best period is between March and November. The lake is stocked with rainbow trout by the Fraser Valley Trout Hatchery between March and June. Stockings are not done in July and August due to the warmer weather, but fishing for bass and other spiny ray species can be good during this period. Rainbow trout stockings resume in late September until November. Although it is usually cold between December and February, trout fishing can still be good at times.

Built by John and James Bathgate in 1864 as Cheviot Mills. Renamed Heather Mills in 1892. This factory distributed pattern bunches direct to tailors and dressmakers, selling cloth by the yard. This became known as the "any length cut trade" and was a forerunner of mail order. Heather Mills also took over in 1930, the adjacent Bridgehaugh Mill, a spinning and weaving mill built in 1865 and later their subsidiary Logan & Turner manufactured woven felts for the paper trade. Historical information from Scottish Borders from Above by Alastair Campbell, published by Deveron Publications of Kelso in 2007.
Heather Mills closed in 2009 and was demolished following a fire in 2018.
The incline along Mill Bank is such that the housing and footpath was built higher than the road way. This won’t be a bad thing; the occupants of these properties probably aren’t affected as much by road noise, more-so considering the trees which line the bank.
An abandoned mill that made things out of rubber amongst other things, Volcrepe has wonderful drying sheds that are in a bad way. Most of these old mills have the drying sheds demolished by now; they're often the first bit that gets demolished/set on fire etc. They had a lot of them here. I'm not sure why you would need a drying shed here if it was rubber that you were making. Surely you could just dry it off with a towel.
Built in 1865, the Preston-Shaffer Milling Company or Wait’s Mill, operated continuously for 92 years. The historic town of Waitsburg owes its existence to the mill, one of the oldest operating mills west of the Mississippi at the time of its closure in 1957. The mill first utilized waterpower, converting to water turbine power and then to electric power in the 1920s. The City of Waitsburg now owns the property, and a city group, the Waitsburg Community Revitalization Committee (WCRC), has focused its efforts on preservation of the mill.
The Threat: Despite great local interest and substantial volunteer support, the mill continues to deteriorate due to a lack of funding for the major repairs required, most importantly a new roof. Much of the restoration can be done by volunteers, if the deterioration is arrested before the water damage becomes extensive and irreversible. Although unable to provide the necessary financial resources, the City of Waitsburg supports the rehabilitation of the mill. The WCRC’s immediate goal is to replace the leaking roof so that plans for the mill’s preservation and interpretation can be completed.
The Old Stone Mill is the oldest surviving automatic stone grist mill in Ontario.
The Old Stone Mill in Delta Ontario is a National Historic Site showcasing milling technology and 1800s industrial heritage. The mill was built in 1810 and is one of the finest examples of early industrial architecture in the region.
A self-guided tour of the mill features interpretive displays and artifacts illustrating the grist milling process through the years. Artifacts include buhr millstones, 48 inch Swain turbines, roller mills and much more.
In the Museum (the former Old Town Hall just around the corner from the mill) exhibits highlight some of the early industries of the region including early agricultural equipment. Small gift shops are located at both sites.
The Old Stone Mill National Historic Site has been designated by the Government of Canada as a place of national historic significance.
Riverside Mill, originally known as Dunsdale Mill, was built in 1837 for spinning and weaving. Owned by Waddle & Turnbull, later by Brown & Allan and then by Laidlaw & Fairgrieve. Today, this thriving business hub is a far cry from its last incarnation, Laidlaw and Fairgrieve woollen mill, which closed in 2000 with the loss of 100 jobs. Now, it is home to 60 local firms, ranging from a performing arts school, kidswear, garages, physios, music rooms and flight cases for bands.
Built in 1894, Alley Mill is one of the most photographed mills, if not places, in the state of Missouri....
Today, as part of Ozark National Scenic Riverways, Alley Spring offers its cool waters and tranquil atmosphere to all Americans. It is still very popular with local people who still camp, picnic and hold reunions at Alley. A hundred Springs and Falls have come and gone since Alley Mill first opened its doors. As a commercial mill, it went out of business over sixty years ago, but as the anchor for a community it remains firmly anchored in the rock of time and tradition....

Quarry Bank Mill (also known as Styal Mill) in Styal, Cheshire, England, is one of the best preserved textile factories of the Industrial Revolution. Built in 1784, the cotton mill is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. Quarry Bank Mill was established by Samuel Greg, and was notable for innovations both in machinery and also in its approach to labour relations, the latter largely as a result of the work of Greg's wife, Hannah Lightbody. The family took a somewhat paternalistic attitude toward the workers, providing medical care for all and limited education to the children, but all laboured roughly 72 hours per week until 1847 when a new law shortened the hours
Potomac Mills (1,839,130 square feet)
2700 Potomac Mills Circle, Woodbridge, VA
Opened September 12th, 1985
Not much of interest here now, most of the historic mill dating from 1872, which still contained Victorian machinery and lineshafts was demolished following two fires in the summer of 2003. At the date of this photo, the remains of the mill await demolition which would occur in October 2009. I often feel it was a missed opportunity to create a major tourist attraction. Northumberland Tourist Board deserve congratulation for seizing the initiative and encouraging Pringles to create a magnificent display at Otterburn Mill, which traces the history of their own well preserved mill together with the history of textiles in Hawick, Selkirk and Galashiels. The combination of mill heritage, retail outlets for the clothing industry and an excellent tearoom have created a superb visitor attraction which is a popular stop for coach tours.
True, Hawick has its Tower Mill open as a heritage centre and companies such as Pringle of Scotland, Peter Scott & Co. and Hawick Cashmere have their mill shops in Hawick, but Visit Scotland and the Scottish Borders Tourist Board seem reluctant to promote Hawick's textile heritage as a visitor attraction.
The building on the right was the Tendraheath knitwear factory, which has also since been demolished.
Since the date of this photo the site has been re-developed for a new Sainsburys' supermarket.
An unusually people and traffic free down Mill Street, Macclesfield on a Saturday morning. The car is parked almost in front of the really good 'Cheshire Gap' delicatessen. The white glazed tiled tower beyond is a survival from the much loved and greatly missed Majestic Cinema which closed down when the owners retired and sold out to developers.
This well worn "Little Mill Brick Co Pontypool" die was photographed at the Usk Museum of Rural Life, Usk, Monmouthshire. It would appear that brick making at Little Mill dates back to at least 1850. Some Burgoyne bricks are faintly embossed in small lettering with "Estb 1850", and another, probably later commemorative brick, is incised "Little Mill, Estb 1850". The works was alongside the Newport and Hereford line at Little Mill Junction, where a line branched off eastwards through Usk into Gloucestershire. A spur into the works was laid in 1869 when the owner was given as a CH Leigh. The 1882 OS map, and subsequent editions until 1920, give the works as "Bryn Tovey Brick Works" (from the nearby Bryn Tovey Wood); from 1920 to 1988, it is marked the "Little Mill Brick Works".
Between 1910 and 1920, Lougher who took over the works from the Burgoynes, changed the name to "Little Mill Brick Co" and later it became a limited company. Kelly's for 1926, and all directories subsequently, use the name Little Mill Brick Co Ltd". Lougher himself died in 1948. The spur into the works was removed in 1966, doubtless a victim of the infamous Beeching Cuts. The firm continued into the 1980s, the last directory entry being the 1981 Industrial Directory of Wales. Today, the site is the Little Mill Go Kart Track.

Badgers gets a view down one the mill's many many holes. Our whole visit was done at a gentle pace, constantly checking the floor in front of us.
Painted c1986 on the side of the pub that's on the site of the original Silk Mil pub. The mural depicts the lock out at the Silk Mill in 1833 - 34. Hundreds of workers were locked out because of their membership of the Grand National Consolidated Trade Union. In November 1833 a worker was sacked from the mill for refusing to pay a fine for poor workmanship. 800 workers striked in support, and the mill owners retaliated by refusing to employ any union members.
By 1834 the strikers had risen to over 2,000. Gradually they drifted back to work as pay ran out and on 21st April 1834, the final strikers asked to be re-instated. 600 workers were not reinstated and the mill continued to operate throughout using non union members.
On Shiffnall Street, between Saville Street and River Street in Bolton stands a long abandoned and Derelict Mill. There is a date stone above a door which reads J B & Co 1890. I was quite taken with it.
Mill Hill Broadway Station, 26 April 2022. The original station was opened by the Midland Railway in 1868 on its London Extension. It was completely rebuilt in the 1960's in association with the construction of the adjacent M4 motorway. It has not worn well. Pictured is the station entrance within a covered bus station - one of the most unprepossessing and unwelcoming station entrances I have ever seen.
Sitting at my computer as the rain lashes down outside, my mind turns to sunny days when walking in the Peak National Park can be enjoyable rather than just damp.
On one such walk I passed Lumbhole Mill in Kettleshulme. This is a fine survival of a textile mill located in a fairly remote place to take advantage of water power. Erected during the 18th century as a candlewick (tufted cotton fabric) mill, the breast-shot wheel was connected to a steam beam engine c1830. This engine, built by Sherrat's of Salford, and the wheel both survive in situ. It has had a number of engineering and storage uses since textile manufacturing finished.
