The confluence of Scioto River and Mill Creek at The Point in Bellepoint, Ohio, facing southwards towards U.S. Highway 42 and Ohio State Route 257

Mill Creek is a stream in central Ohio.[1] It is a tributary of the Scioto River.

Early settlers built and operated many mills along Mill Creek, hence the name.[2]

Marysville, Ohio, is the largest settlement on Mill Creek.

A USGS gauge on the creek at Bellepoint recorded a mean annual discharge of 176 cubic feet per second (5.0 m3/s) during water years 1944–2019.[3]
