Bearsden Access

Bearsden Fishing Access Site provides fishing access to the Millers River within the Bearsden Conservation Area's 1,568 acres of forest in Athol.

The area features multiple trails leading down to the river itself, including access to a catch-and-release section of the Millers River, along with picnic spots at the Ox-Bow (a scenic curve in the river).

Parking is available at the main Bearsden trailhead on Bearsden Road, with trails of varying difficulty providing river access for anglers.
