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 serves as a green escape where Edmontonians walk, jog, and cycle away from the busy streets above. Locals have long used these paths as a refuge, making it a part of the community's connection to nature within the city.
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.
