In September 2012, the Brodhead Chapter of Trout Unlimited completed an in-stream habitat improvement on the McMichael Creek involving the installation of 3 stone deflectors and over 50 tons of random boulder placement along approximately 1000 feet of stream. Partnering with the Chapter was Stroud Township, the property owner, E.F. Possinger, All Construction and Repair, and Locust Ridge Quarry who each donated and delivered rocks. The work was completed by All Construction and Repair at a substantially reduced rate.
