Mill Creek is a 6.6-mile-long (10.6 km) tributary of the Schuylkill River in Lower Merion Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, United States.The north branch arises from a number of sources north of Lancaster Avenue (U.S. Route 30) in Villanova. The south branch arises near Ardmore, and has Trout Run as a major tributary. The two branches merge near the intersection of Old Gulph Road and Mill Creek Road, and the lower creek flows east to join the Schuylkill River just upstream of the Gladwyne interchange of the Schuylkill Expressway (Interstate 76 exit 337) and the Flat Rock Dam.Dove Lake is located beside the north branch of Mill Creek, just upstream of where Old Gulph Road crosses the creek at a ford. The ford has a gate, which is frequently closed when high water makes crossing it dangerous. The lower creek has some historic mills and related buildings on Mill Creek Road and nearby Rose Glen Road.Mill Creek Road follows the south branch of the creek from Montgomery Avenue near Ardmore to Old Gulph Road, and follows the lower creek to River Road by the Schuylkill River. The road is mostly on the right bank, with two crossings near the junction with the north branch.

It is the first station on the line outside Philadelphia. In FY 2013, Miquon station had a weekday average of 483 boardings and 452 alightings.The station is adjacent to a large office park (River Park I and II), which was redeveloped from a former paper mill in 1999. As of April 2013, parking includes about 60 spaces adjacent to the tracks along River Road, and 170 spaces in the River Park II lot; the latter lot has been shrinking in size due to the expansion of a private school (AIM Academy) which leased most of the River Park II complex beginning in 2011.The station building on the outbound side is leased to an outside party and does not currently sell tickets. There is a shelter on the inbound side; connecting the two platforms is an official pedestrian crossing. Miquon is expected to become a temporary turnback point for trains at times when the line is flooded by the Schuylkill River around Spring Mill and Conshohocken. A new remotely controlled interlocking has been built near the station for this purpose, as part of a project to install a modern cab signal system on the line.
