First off it is not paved or level. I would not recommend this trail for anyone with a wheelchair or stroller. The path was very slippery and muddy in several places (it rained 2 days ago). Some areas had gravel. Other areas had wooden elevated walking paths that were often far apart and uneven.The area is beautiful though. It was great to see the trees, streams and little bridges. It was very peaceful we walked for 30 mins without seeing another person on a Saturday afternoon.

Loved it. I made my way to mill creek nature center by walking from the Gwinnett Environment & Heritage center (round trip 4 miles). If you plan to go this way, walk down the stairs that run along side the heritage center, turn left at the old house and barn, cross the road to get onto the ivy creek greenway, after you pass the bathrooms and dog walk area make a left and cross over the board walks. Along the way you will pass an “waterfall”, under the highways, eventually the trail will run into gravel straight or paved to the left. Proceed straight and the nature center is about a 1/4 of a mile into the woods. Exploring the board walks was fun and reminded me of running through the board walks as a kid in FL. I’ll be back. Enjoy!!!

Love this place. So peaceful. No matter the season. A great place to spend with your family.

Awesome hidden nature center. Loved it there. Will be back soon.

Nice serene step into nature even in the middle of the mall of GA area.

Nice area to walk and enjoy nature. Yes, it is a little noisy, but when you dont have a lot of time to travel up into the mountains. This spot will help you unwind.

Great place to walk take the dog with us paved and trails.

Seems like a pretty nice trail, although we didnt make it very far because it had recently rained and parts of the trail were a little flooded or too muddy to walk through.

Awsome new find for me. Spent hours there and didnt cover it all. Must go!

Nice spot next to the mall of GA. Getting to the entrance can be confusing. Check the official website and the picture I posted. But basically you have to park either at Wendy’s or the Bird place and walk along the road in between and you will see the entrance. I drove by it 4 times...

I love this place its simply super that I refresh my mind

Nice boardwalk trails through wetlands tucked between the mall and I85. Lots of wildlife.

Beautiful plenty of trails natural & paved. Shade & open areas. Deer, birds etc.

Beautiful space and trails to walk. And the zip line area looks fun

I just went for a walk after dinner and it was wonderful! We saw Ducks, red headed woodpecker, and a deer. Listen to the frogs and birds singing. We will go again

A tucked away nature preserve with a trail that takes you into lush grassy swampland and right under the heart of I-85 and GA-20. Interesting old dam on the creek (with old mill wheel still there) in the eastern part of the I-85 cloverleaf. Nice sights so close to a bustling mall and suburban area.

Very peaceful. A little hard to find, but worth it.

Nice place to take pictures

Bravo to the Eagle Scouts that chose to do their Eagle projects at Mill Creek Nature Center. The paths were well maintained and the boardwalks sturdy. Saw several deer and fawns, humming and other birds. A gem in the middle of it all. Thanks to you young men.

Close mall of GA

Hard to find. The trail we found was noisy, near the highway, went under highway bridge. Not a good getaway

Awesome place

Very nice little trail. Loved the big trees.

Desolate and weird, but maybe some good birding in the warmer months.

This place is a great little hidden gem tucked quietly behind the hustle and bustle of MOGA. The main entrance is between Nature Pkwy & Village Way Ln off of Mall of Georgia Blvd. There is a small gravel parking lot between some Power Co. boxes and the Consignment store over on MOGA Blvd. However, I prefer the trail in behind the Mattress Firm. I also noticed a path in to the right of Kid to Kid Buford and Lifeway Christian Bookstore. That path was nice because businesses with restrooms were close by. That came in handy when I was walking around. I popped out over there to hit a restroom. The trails are great. The coolest thing, I think, is the fact that the Mill Creek Nature Center is connected to the Ivy Creek Greenway and Gwinnett Environmental Heritage Center. All three of those are linked together and if I read it correctly GEHC will eventually connect to George Pierce Park which connects to Suwanee Creek Park. That is exciting! After awhile the trails will link up nicely. I would highly recommend getting lost back here. Its wonderful to hear the roar of 85 and see nothing but nature. It makes you feel like you are getting away with something....like an oasis in the middle of suburbia...a great little side stop to reconnect with nature.

There isnt much to see here.

Very hard to find. Needs better directions.

Best place ever.
