Our current data results indicate that the Mill Creek meets secondary recreational contact standards. This means that while the water is not safe for swimming in or ingesting, paddling, wading, and fishing are generally okay. We recommend paddlers wash carefully after recreation activities in the Mill Creek.In full disclosure, there are inherent risks involved in paddling local streams. Paddlers may need to climb out of the canoe to get past shallow spots and low-head dams. You will need to be sure-footed in some places. Potential safety hazards include sudden drop-offs, hidden holes, foot entrapments, slippery algae, submerged obstacles and jagged objects.MCA monitors stream conditions and CSO activity before each paddling trip to determine if the event can be held with a reasonable balance of risk and caution.If you have an open wound or weakened immunities, you should consider an alternative way to experience the Mill Creek. Participants must be 18 or older to register alone, children over 14 may attend with a parent or guardian who is also paddling. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/f737be80-9766-11f1-aeb9-85abe4888be8-rimg-w1200-h300-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/cincinnati/august-2026-urban-stream-adventure-with-the-mill-creek-yacht-club/100001990435553321 - **Event Categories**: trips-adventures, sports - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: under_18_with_guardian - Duration: 5 hours - Location: Mill Creek Barrier Dam - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 28.52, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Cincinnati - **state**: OH - **country**: United States - **location**: Mill Creek Barrier Dam - **lat**: 39.1051262 - **long**: -84.5458891 - **full address**: Mill Creek Barrier Dam, 800 Evans Avenue, Cincinnati, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: August 2026 Urban Stream Adventure with the Mill Creek Yacht Club - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/3dadb44eb23865ff24c08c784c59f064a90179e726882653b22c9ac3d57f5984-rimg-w1200-h800-dcd5d7da-gmir.jpg?v=1779837365 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is August 2026 Urban Stream Adventure with the Mill Creek Yacht Club being held? - **A:** August 2026 Urban Stream Adventure with the Mill Creek Yacht Club takes place on Sat, 15 Aug, 2026 at 08:30 am to Sat, 15 Aug, 2026 at 01:30 pm at Mill Creek Barrier Dam, 800 Evans Avenue, Cincinnati, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing August 2026 Urban Stream Adventure with the Mill Creek Yacht Club? - **A:** August 2026 Urban Stream Adventure with the Mill Creek Yacht Club is organized by Mill Creek Alliance. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
