Shopping, dining and entertainment are within walking distance from Millrace. It is only a short drive to the Palace of Auburn Hills, Great Lakes Crossing, DTE Energy Theater (Pine Knob), Somerset Collection, Pontiac Silverdome, The Golden Mile, Meadow Brook Music Hall, and The Village of Rochester Hills.
Nested directly alongside the Clinton River and Clinton River Trail, residents enjoy at-your-doorstep activities like hiking, jogging, biking, cross-country skiing and fly-fishing. In the fall, Millrace neighbors enjoy a little-known secret: Yates Cider Mill is a short 1 mile walk along the trail!
The Clinton River Trail is a project of the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy and spans nearly 16 miles, frequently crossing the river. Learn more about the Clinton River Trail from The Greenway Collaborative, Inc.
Running through two preserves in both Orion and Oakland Counties, the Clinton River offers both a scenic landscape and an historical root to Millrace. Learn more about the Clinton River from the Oakland Land Conservancy.
