Mill Creek Trail is a 1.8 mile heavily trafficked out and back trail located near Moab, Utah that features a waterfall and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking. Dogs are also able to use this trail.
This popular trail winds through a beautiful canyon eventually reaching several small waterfalls with swimming areas. Beware, after the first swimming hole, the trail gets much more difficult to follow. The route on this page has the hiker stopping at the first swimming hole.
April 9, 2021Beautiful!
April 8, 2021gorgeous but definitely can get crowded. wear waterproof shoes as you have to cross the creek many times. water was so cold my legs were getting a "brain freeze". we had to be back otherwise we would've explored more. if you decide to go past the swimming hole there is a lot to explore. great place to bring the dogs to swim and cool off as there are many points you can dip in
April 3, 2021Upper parking lot was completely full. Parking all along the houses 1/2 mile away was completely full. People everywhere. Too many people for me. I prefer a bit of solitude when I hike
April 2, 2021Trail was clean, beautiful views. Spent a good three hours in there.
March 29, 2021March 29, 2021We so enjoyed this trail. Went up the steep rocky part at first, wandering a bit before finding the trail. We then ran east to the end of the trail near a road, then went L/North to the creek. We then followed the creek trail all the way back. What fab rocks and scenery, all with a great trail to run on. A few creek crossings and a bit of scrambling, but nothing bad, and a fun fun trail to run on.
March 26, 2021double stats because didn't start recording until on our way back from cave found glyphics on the walls in Cottonwood Cave with note have to camp here in summer in cave
March 25, 2021First part of the trail had a little bit of a scramble. Trail is super mellow with three creek crossings. This hike would be perfect wit a pair of Chacos. Dog friendly trail, some were leashed and some weren’t.
March 24, 2021Short trail and not marked very well. You likely will need to cross the River in three spots. NBD. It’s just ok.
March 22, 2021March 21, 2021your feet will get wet, some spots of scaling rocks but beautiful waterfall at the end
March 21, 2021I could not find a way to cross the creek after .7 mile because the creek is too high.
March 20, 2021Super cool! Little slippery on rock with wet shoes. Lots of opportunity to get in the water. Nice trail.
March 20, 2021March 20, 2021We got lost, in a good way

March 11, 2021Nice trail would be fun with kids - gave us some challenges crossing creek a few times - wish it were warmer to enjoy the end!
March 9, 2021March 6, 2021beautiful easy hike
March 6, 2021March 3, 2021Short walk through a pretty canyon. Although clearly heavily used in warmer weather, there were only a couple other groups on the trail on a weekday afternoon in early March. This would be a great walk for little kids.
