Miller Lake itself is a hidden gem only minutes away, offering calm waters ideal for swimming, kayaking, and fishing, especially for families and beginner paddlers. In the evening, the area’s location within a Dark Sky Preserve makes it an exceptional place for stargazing, with clear views of the Milky Way on the right nights.
