Mill Creek Ravine is located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and is a part of the River Valley parks and trail system.
Mill Creek begins in rural sloughs east of Edmonton and flows northward, in part through the ravine park.
The creek flows northward through Mill Woods and the Jackie Parker Recreation Area, then is diverted into culverts (built during the 1960s and 1970s).
The city has begun public consultations on re-establishing the natural, surface flow ("daylighting") the downstream reach of Mill Creek.
The railway carried passengers and also served ravine industries -- a brickyard, a coal mine and two meat packing plants.
In the early 1980s the City of Edmonton converted the railway right of way between 67 Avenue to the river into a paved bicycle path, later designated a multi-use trail.
