Attention: Merchants Millpond State Park has 6 campsites on Bennetts Creek. This is a 4.5 mile paddle to get to the sites. Visitors are regularly getting here too late to make the journey to the campsites and this can cause conflict. We would like for visitors to have to call the park office to make reservations so the information can be provided to them and they know they must arrive early to get to their site.
