Confirmed from Mill Creek Trail's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

What runners say about Mill Creek Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (35 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Mill Creek Trail can be accessed off Telegraph St. in Washington, Utah. Turn north on Main St. until the pavement turns to dirt. Drive the dirt road for about a mile to reach the signed trailhead. The trail will connect to other trails such as Bone Wash, Sand Hill and Mustang Pass.

★★★★★ — Linda , Dec 2018

Elephant arch hike was just short of 4 miles round trip. Pretty relaxing hike. Couple of up hills but not to demanding. Good place for families to check out. Once you get to the stacked rocks (if some hasn't destroyed them) stay on the right fork. Enjoy ! We will definitely do the hike again

★★★★★ — Scott , Feb 2021

Awesome and well marked. We had a soccer tournament in Saint George and wanted a quick hike between games. This lovely. Not hard at all! It wasn’t heavily traveled either the day we were there. Absolutely perfect.

★★★★☆ — Jenn , Feb 2020

One of our favorite trails in Washington County. We love elephant arch :)

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.

  • ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
  • At the trailheadparking, restrooms — reported by runners
  • DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
