Terrace Mill - THE MILLPOND

A glorious result

Damming the Chippewa River
One glorious result of damming the Chippewa River at Terrace, for the original purpose of capturing water to power the Mill, was the inevitable creation of the Mill Pond. Today the millpond offers beautiful reflective still waters with daily evolving views. Peaceful and serene. Even in the coldest winter months, the water cascades gracefully over the weir, relaxing visitors with the gentle sounds of falling water.
