At that time there were quite a number of amenities including a school, church, ski lodge, community center, outdoor swimming pool, police station, fire hall, grocery store and post office.

At the time of the construction of the Revelstoke Dam downriver in the early 1980s, the townsite of Mica Creek was moved to a higher position 500 meters inland from the Columbia River to accommodate flooding which created the dam's reservoir, Lake Revelstoke.

Annual snowfall at Mica Creek averages 620 cm, usually reaching a depth of 1–2 meters by mid-winter, making it ones of the snowiest communities in Canada.

As of October 2005, Mica Creek is no longer incorporated as a village, but most of the buildings of the old townsite are still maintained such as the recreation center (weight room, swimming pool, sauna, gymnasium) as well as a handful of houses, cottages, and gazebos.

Since 2011, BC Hydro has been upgrading the Mica Dam with the installation of 2 additional generator-turbine units.
