Mill House Lodge and Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Now holiday accommodation, the mill waterfall cascades down into King Creek just next to the road. It's a cute little spot that shines a light into the history of the area.

Tip by

Front Lake is a small reservoir at the entrance to the Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site and the trailhead for Memminger Trail. The reservoir is sometimes drained for maintenance, but it is a sight when it is full. If you run the Memminger Trail to the south from here, it crosses over Memminger Creek, which is running down from the lake.
