I could not find a good website that talked about the Forty Mile Creek. I did find lots of information on Forty Creek Distillery and since Forty Creek Whisky is a favorite for many of our husbands, and their Forty Creek Cream is a hit with us women, here is their website: http://fortycreekwhisky.com/ Enjoy!!!
