The facility is well-suited for recreational paddling and fishing activities on the calm waters of South Mill Creek Lake.

**Directions:** From Petersburg, WV, head south on Route 220 from the intersection with Route 55. Continue to South Mill Creek Road and follow it for approximately 11 miles to reach the access area. The ramp is clearly marked as "Mill Creek Boat Ramp" and provides adequate parking for trailers and vehicles.
