The Mill Creek boat ramp is a great starting point for kayak trips out to Parrot Island. During the winter months, the boat ramp can be a productive location to scan for waterfowl. During migration walking up the road into the woods can produce a variety of passerines. Clapper Rails can be found in the marsh across the inlet from the boat ramp, which you may occasionally hear from the boat ramp but there is a higher likelihood of detecting this species if you kayak over to the marsh. Red-headed Woodpeckers can occasionally be found on the snags in the marsh.
