Mill Creek Trailhead and Parking

Highlight • Parking

The Mill Creek Trailhead is located in the south end of Moab on the end of some residential roads (so please be respectful of locals by parking only in the designated public parking lot and being careful not to blocks roads and driveways). While there are multiple side trails off of the parking lot to various swimming holes along Mill Creek, the main trail takes you past an old power plant spillway and to a stream where you get to choose whether to wade in the water or traverse the slopping slickrock next to the water. This is a fun way to begin your hike up Mill Creek Canyon!

Mill Creek Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

On a hot day, the Mill Creek Waterfall and pool is the place to be for locals and visitors alike. After following narrow trails through a small stand of trees you reach the lower pool where you can cool off and swim in the water. If you are comfortable with heights and a little scrambling, you can climb up to the top of falls to jump off by following the trail up a slick rock slab. This is a great place to go swimming, take some photos, and relax in this desert oasis.
