Mill Creek is a 27.9-mile-long (44.9 km)[1] tributary of theCumberland River that extends throughWilliamson andDavidson counties in theU.S. state ofTennessee. Via the Cumberland andOhio rivers, it is part of theMississippi River watershed. The creek begins nearNolensville, Tennessee, and continues into MetropolitanNashville, winding throughAntioch,Cane Ridge, South Nashville, andDonelson, before flowing into the Cumberland about 2 miles (3 km) upstream from downtown Nashville. It is prone to flooding, and was the first site of major flooding during the2010 Tennessee floods. At least five people were killed as a result of the creek's raging flash flood, and millions of dollars of property damage was reported along Mill Creek.
Mill Creek is the only known habitat in the world for the endangeredNashville Crayfish.
