Mill Creek is a stream in the San Juan National Forest in Archuleta County, Colorado, and a minor left tributary of San Juan River. It flows in a generally southwesterly direction[1] from Mill Creek Canyon, east of Pagosa Springs between Coal Creek and Rio Blanco, to join the San Juan River just sound of Pagosa Springs.
