Restrictions on the creek are communicated through the use of colored flags.
Marc Staley of Golden Fire Department, front, leads water rescue teams while practicing water rescue skills at Clear Creek Whitewater Park in Golden, Colorado on Friday, June 14, 2024. Clear Creek Whitewater Park was closed to tubers and swimmers this week due to high water and raging currents flowing over its man-made rapids, but there was plenty of activity at the popular recreation destination in Golden.
The potential force of water in Clear Creek is just one of the things Golden officials want people to know before they head there for tubing, swimming and wading. They want them to understand the rules and risks that go with having fun in the creek. They want them to wear lifejackets, and they recommend helmets. Alcohol use is prohibited.
Water rescue specialists have more confidence in the ability of kayakers to navigate high flows safety because of their training and the nature of their vessels. A sign reading “Danger-Exit Water Now!” can be seen on the Clear Creek trail bridge for tubers at Vanover Park in Golden, Colorado on Friday, June 14, 2024.
