The hallmarks of Mill Creek Parkway are its ease and family-friendly pace. This is the trail you want to be on in Moab if you just want to take a stroll along the water, if you want to read outdoors under the shade of a poplar, walk your dog in the late afternoon, or if you simply want to safely take your kids to the park. It’s a trail that encourages lingering: riparian birdlife flits on the water’s edge or in the trees above, inviting the curiosity of trail users.

The trail begins in Rotary Park, whose highlight is the “free notes” musical playground. From there, the trail snakes north and west along Mill Creek, passing the Youth Garden with its outdoor pond; Bark Park dog park and the Arbor Day Grove where the trees were planted in 1999. The trail can also be used for commuting as it connects to Grand County Middle and High schools.

The trail ends at S 100 W.

Parking and Trail Access

The Rotary Park trailhead is the best place to park. To get there, from US 191, make a slight right onto S Mill Creek Dr. Stay on S Mill Creek Dr. for about a mile and half. The park will be on your left.
