The dramatic waterfall in Mill Race Park tells the story of the mill race that put Battle Creek on the map.

A mill race is a narrow, swift, and powerful channel (or sluice) of water that turns a water wheel to produce power. It made Battle Creek a center for manufacturing. The railroad arrived soon after the mill and items were sent out from the city’s factories: agricultural machinery, cigars, bicycles, and more.

While in the park, enjoy the waterfall, shady picnic areas, and playground equipment.
