Crewmates of the Mill Creek Yacht Club

Anyone who floats with us on the long-abused but resurgent Mill Creek is a crewmate of the Mill Creek Yacht Club. Paddling the Mill Creek is fun with a purpose. We not only enjoy recreation, but also learn about the stream, exchange ideas, raise public awareness, report problems, find opportunities for improvement, and rediscover our connection to a public waterway. We like showing the creek to dignitaries and the media but realize that local businesses, landowners and citizens are vital to our cause. The Mill Creek is rich in heritage. It has a lot of untapped potential and shows many personalities, depending on time and place. Most crewmates agree our urban stream is a fascinating place to visit. It’s plain to see that the Mill Creek is making a comeback.

We launched our maiden voyage in April 1994 as an antidote to all the board room meetings that devoted hours to Mill Creek discussion but nary a minute to Mill Creek experience. Over the last 23½ years, we have escorted 1,132 crewmates on 180 urban stream adventures to explore more than 26 of the Mill Creek main stem’s 28 miles, nearly 8 tributary miles and roughly 4 lake miles. Some voyages triggered corrective actions by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Ohio EPA, Metropolitan Sewer District, Village of Glendale, Hamilton County Public Health, streamside companies and others. We have been out every month of the year in sun, rain, wind, snow and lightning, which forced us to shelter under bridges. We have started before sunrise and finished after sunset. Nine trips were lit by a full moon. Two voyages have featured guided fishing trips with Buckeye United Fly Fishers and 43 trips have been stream cleanups. We have dragged our canoes over riffles during low flows and we have floated over low-head dams during Ohio River flood stage. Our West Fork Mill Creek trips ride on water releases from Winton Lake. We are often guided by Dr. Michael C. Miller, a U.C. professor emeritus of biology.

We have planted willow live-stakes, hacked through honeysuckle bushes, sawed away logjams, inventoried discharge pipes, scouted project sites, documented failing infrastructure, and removed tons of junk from the stream corridor. The number of people on the water for a Yacht Club outing has ranged from 1 to 43 paddlers. (The solo paddler was a veteran kayaker scouting the need for logjam removal. He stayed in touch by cell phone.) Many trips are jointly planned with the staff of the Mill Creek Watershed Council of Communities, which provides valuable support for liability insurance, registrations, communications, education, storage, T-shirts, water, snacks, hand cleaner, canoes, paddles, life jackets, first-aid kits, logistics and publicity.

Yacht Club trips also have ventured onto East Fork Mill Creek, West Fork Mill Creek from Winton Lake, the lower West Fork from Northside, Beaver Run from Springdale, a flooded streamside detention basin, a large storm sewer, the Ohio River, Winton Lake, Sharon Lake and the Licking River, which shares a pre- glacial river valley with the Mill Creek. Much of the Mill Creek has become familiar, but it never stops amazing us. What the Shawnee called Maketewah still holds unrevealed secrets. You are invited to join the campaign for Mill Creek revival. It’s a matter of civic pride and quality of life.

Below are 1,132 people known to have paddled with the Mill Creek Yacht Club as early as April 1994 and as late as October 7th, 2017. Most entries describe the crewmates’ first Yacht Club voyages. Over the course of 23½ years, most crewmates have graduated college, changed jobs or moved on to other endeavors. Many have taken multiple trips, so the Yacht Club has generated more than 2,400 personal paddling experiences on the Mill Creek.

This list is alphabetical by last name. It includes only a fraction of the 1,000-plus people who visited the lower Mill Creek during Paddlefest side trips from the Ohio River in August 2016 and August 2017. These unlisted crewmates paddled through history as they toured six bridges, the Great Barrier Dam of the Mill Creek, and what is believed to be a stone arch remnant of the Cincinnati-Whitewater Canal aqueduct over the Mill Creek.
