Mill Creek Trail Survey - 12-10-2021 - by EC DUZ ITLink: Mill Creek Trail Date: 12-10-2021 Surveyor Name: EC DUZ IT Trail description: Started my hike from Kirk creek. The paved road to the trailhead is closed to vehicular traffic, so that was nice. There is a “sign” that states the trail is not maintained about 1.5 miles in. You can rock scramble up the creek which is flowing nicely. It’s evident that this watershed was hammered by the fires over the last few years. There’s some really nice redwood lumber going to waste along the creek. Overall beautiful stunning and rugged creek. Mode of transport: Hike Trail condition: Needs some work Images: - Mill Creek Trail Survey - 12-31-2017 - by Anonymous Surveyor

I lost a clear trail at a couple points, but if you simply stay close to the creek, you're fine. I ended up at a small waterfall! Mode of transport: Hike Trail condition: Good shape and easy to follow - Mill Creek Trail Survey - 06-04-2017 - by Sourdough
Link: Mill Creek Trail Date: 06-04-2017 Surveyor Name: Sourdough Trail description: Lots and lots of debris in the creek, and along/above the banks, made it tough to find the trail from ~Lion Creek merge on up to my ending point. I made it as far as the National Forest boundary and figured I'd be fighting more of the same all the way to the top. Didn't see anyone else on the trail. Entered at 7.30a. Exited at 11.30p. Mode of transport: Hike Trail condition: Hard to follow Condition details: Rain runoff hit this trail/canyon hard - Mill Creek Trail Survey - 02-22-2014 - by Anonymous Surveyor
