Miller's Hollow Pier

Miller’s Hollow Piers sits in the Pool 13 backwaters of the Mississippi River in Carroll County, Illinois, just north of Savanna and adjacent to Mississippi Palisades State Park. This small, low‑key site provides access to calm backwaters near Buffalo Lake, making it a convenient spot for anglers and paddlers looking for a quieter alternative to busy boat launches. The area is known for good fishing opportunities along this stretch of the Mississippi, with common targets including bass, catfish, panfish, and seasonal river species. Visitors also come simply to enjoy the river scenery, watch wildlife moving through the refuge corridor, and use the site as a quick pull‑off while exploring the Palisades bluffs and nearby river towns
