Mill Creek

PUBLIC NOTICE:  As the spring runoff continues, please keep people and pets away from the creek banks and edge as water may rise unexpectedly and banks may be slippery. 

Mill Creek Regional Park is 15.3 hectares in the Ellison area, east of the Kelowna Airport. A beautiful cool and quiet trail system follows Mill Creek into the falls.

Features:

• A shaded riparian area alongside the creek
• Trail system
• Wildlife corridor
• Naturalists activities like birdwatching and botany

Things To Do:

Hikers enjoy the park on their daily walk with their pets or a family can enjoy a picnic in the shade of the Black Cottonwood trees by the creek.

Most of the trail is very flat and easy, parts are a little rougher with roots and rocky sections. Naturalists can enjoy the wildlife found searching for food and water or hiding in the underbrush.

Regional Parks Interpretive Programs are available by donation for school and community groups who would like to learn about our local environment and cultural history.

General Information:

The park is open in spring, summer, and fall during daylight hours. The parking area is closed during the winter, providing limited access to the park.

Dogs must be kept on a leash within park boundaries and owners should clean up after their pets. Motorized vehicles are not permitted on the hiking trails. Overnight camping, open fires and smoking are not permitted.

Help protect park vegetation and wildlife by using only designated trails. Leave only footprints and take only pictures.

Directions:

Take Old Vernon Road off Highway 97 N and turn onto Spencer Road, the parking lot is on the right hand side.
