Clear Creek Rafting is exciting!
Rafting!
January 7, 1859 was the day of the first major gold strike in Idaho Springs by George Jackson. This strike brought miners to the area, all in search of gold. Today, people flock to Idaho Springs and the surrounding area for the many recreational activities it has to offer such as rafting on the Clear Creek River.
Clear Creek is the closest raftable river to Denver, only a 30-minute drive. This narrow, steep and technical river winds through the historic valley of Idaho Springs. Clear Creek River has more rapids than most commercially rafted rivers in the state. Normal rafting season runs from May through July.
Fun at any level!
Enjoy beautiful mountain scenery and wildlife. Watch carefully during your time on the river, you may see muskrat, beaver, deer, and bighorn sheep, with an occasional mountain lion or bear.
Clear Creek has an average gradient of 67 feet per mile, and over 100 feet per mile on the advanced sections of the river. For an exciting advanced trip, you will weave your way through 30 major rapids. This relatively small stream also offers trips for beginners and intermediate rafters with rapids generally Class II-III-IV.
