Can anyone tell where Mill Creek is? I can't seem to find it on my GPS.
its off of hiway 9 west of eufaula on the south side mill creek rec area
Look west of town on Hwy 9. About 5 miles I think.
I looked in the Longtown area on my GPS but still can't figure out which one is Mill Creek. You would think it would be marked.
I feel the same way about Gaines Creek. I see people refer to Gaines creek all the time, but on my map, it runs from about Hwy 9 down to nearly Krebs! So which area of "Gaines Creek" is everyone talking about? :confused: :oQuote:

I guess I should learn how to follow directions as two posts above said west and I was looking east. Thanks for pointing that out!
9 West out of Eufaula go 8-9 miles till you top the hill and turn left @ the big blue water tower follow the signs down to the camping area and the ramp is right there.
Thanks Lip for the specifics on directions. That was my next question. I don't know Eufaula very well but I'm looking for a good area that has a history of big fish and is a little out of the way so it's not so crowded like Crowder, Rock Creek and other popular areas right on 69 hwy. I like an area that has plenty of deep water, well defined creek channels and some standing timber as well as good spawning areas. Does Mill Creek fit that description?
someone told me mill creek is not as good as it used to be because it has silted in....?...I am in the same boat when it comes to gaines creek....i have been told it is in three different places now.....and is till haven't fished it...unless you count the whole lake south of 9a.....
Mill creek itself has some deep holes but not as many as you have mentioned. Another ramp that you can go to is at Oak Grove and it is a free launch ramp. Keep heading west instead of at the top of the hill and round the corner at the County barn until the next main road left "Oak Grove Rd Sign" Take a left go over the Culvert takeleft at the run down should be burnt down trailer house. keep hanging left through the curves and you will see the docks. To head up the creek hang a right after the docks past the two small limbs sticking out of the water. Head towards the Island ahead now. Keep in mind this is very shallow water and several stumps under water so go SLOW!!! Go around the east side of the island and continue heading south until the next open water. Go around the slight point and head back west AGIAN VERY SHALLOW. many boats have got caught up here. As you round the point and head west look ahead to the south and see a small opening to go through and enter there. Keep left when you exit that opening about 50 yds from bank and you will see a small opening ahead again with a log jam this is where you want to go. There is a Horseshoe that you can go through to the right of that opening when the water is up but we always go through the log jam area. once you go up to where the first Y is go left and there are tons of stumps and such water depth varies. Make sure you take your time there have been hundreds of lower units knocked off through this maze. The water clarity is much murkier than the rock and coal creeks which I like because you can doodlesock better the Sows will be shallower.
Dog... Gaines is a large area but when I go there I put in east of McAlester through Krebs. I don't know the directions well enough to explain it but I can drive there. Sorry... seems like it may be Juniper Point but I'm not sure. I'll look it up on my GPS and get back to you.
hey breas...thanks....sent you a pm...check it out!
It's called Hickory point. Go straight through the middle of the town of Krebs east of McAlester. Keep heading east several miles until you come to a water plant on the left. Turn left to go to the ramp. Popular area though.
Let me see if can clear this up for you? When crappie fisherman mention a creek they are usaully referring to the actuall creek. Where it narrows down, the banks are anywhere from 50 yds wide to 10 yds wide. Gaines creek starts at highway 9A and goes to Hartshorne OK. But it enters the lake under Highway 31 east of Krebs. This is the actual creek. Mill creek on the other hand is west of Eufaula on highway 9. when you launch at the Mill creek boat ramp you are still a mile of 2 from the actual creek itself. It is southest of the boat ramp and don't go under the bridge that is the south canadian river! If you decide to take your boat up there be very careful, stumpy stumpy stumpy! Hope this helps! EB
Try N31 42d x W85 09d in that areaQuote:
