Clear Creek Bike Trail

018
  Clear Creek is shallow and fast with little rapids. It’s a very popular for tubing and the wide paved trail makes it easy for launching and carrying the tubes back upstream. Walkers can follow the trail over the bridges for a 1/2 loop. Longer walks are possible but may involve some gravel paths and uphill runs.

  The trail passes by the Clear Creek History Park, a small collection of pioneer era buildings that are only opened for special events. At all other times visitors can stroll through the grounds for free. An interpretive pamphlet is available at the entrance. The paths are gravel so wheelchair users may need to have some help. Most of the buildings are not accessible.

The Golden History Center is also located along the trail.This is a very small museum with a film covering the town history from 1900-1950. Don’t miss the one of a kind velvet covered piano.

   RVs can be parked in the gravel lot on the west end of 11th St. or on the street.  Trail
