Hill Creek Overview

This stream originates where Townsend and De Champs creeks meet, then flows northerly into the East Fork of the Iron River. Brook, brown and an occasional rainbow trout inhabit the stream, which is considered an outstanding resource water. Due to upstream agriculture, Hill Creek is subject to turbid water conditions during heavy runoff. Migratory waterfowl are known to use the stream. It is considered an important Lake Superior habitat as part of the Iron River watershed.

The water marked for higher production is located north of where B and A come together. Follow A where it turns into Raivala and continue north until you cross Mannik Rd. You can turn East on Mannik and it will be a few hundred feet to your east, or continue Northon Raivala Rd. and see if you can find an entry. The river is to the East, just off the road. Check access maps.
