Mill Race was a log flume ride that operated between 1963[1] and 1993[2] at the Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio.

Opened in 1963, just months after El Aserradero [The Sawmill] at Six Flags Over Texas,[3] it was the world's second log flume ride.[1] In 1993, it was dismantled to make room for the Raptor roller coaster.[2]
