River Description

This is the most popular run on Clear Creek, but keep in mind that the riverbed is all blasted rock and is very unkind to upside down or swimming boaters.

To get there: The put-in is below Rigor Mortis on Hwy 6 at mile 267.2. To get to the takeout take the Washington Street exit on Hwy 6, head south and then turn right on 10th street. The Play Park is near a large parking lot on the left after passing the baseball fields.
