Mill Creek Ravine, Natural ravine trail system in Edmonton, Canada

Mill Creek Ravine is a trail system running through Edmonton along a creek from Connors Road to Argyll Road in a north-south direction. The network includes multiple access points and sections designed for hiking, cycling, and walking through forested areas.

The name comes from William Bird's flour mill, established in 1878 near where the creek meets the North Saskatchewan River. This early industrial use shaped how the area developed and became known to settlers in the region.

The ravine's name comes from William Bird's flour mill of 1878, and the creek's outfall near 95 Avenue is visible from the James MacDonald Bridge. In the 1960s and 1970s residents and nature enthusiasts fought off a proposed freeway through the ravine. The Mill Creek Outdoor Swimming Pool at 8200 - 95A Street draws crowds in summer, and a plaque erected in 1988 by the Edmonton Historical Board marks the railway.

Multiple entry points along the trail make it easy to access different sections based on your preference and time available. The paths accommodate various activity levels and work well for walking, cycling, and bringing along dogs.

A former railway trestle at 76 Avenue was designated as a Municipal Historic Resource in 2004 and still stands within the landscape. This old railway structure shows the industrial past of the region and creates an interesting contrast against the natural surroundings.
