Clear Creek White Water Park — Attraction in Golden

This area has come a very very long way since I was a young adult. In 2004 it was nearly non existent but by 2006 it primarily is what it is today structurally. It kind of feels like the trails west of the highway have been redeveloped and improved and of course the eddy tap room and Basecamp are just off the trail just shy of the underpass. Going the other direction it now connects into the bike trail going to arvada. There has been a HUGE growth of just nonstop tourists going tubing and alot of goldenites do not take too kindly to them. If you want quiet you need to go way up the mountain. From Washington to the highway it's one mass conglomerated section of dogs people on bikes, people milling around, strollers and people carrying kayaks up and down the trail.

Seems quite fun while I didn't jump in the river just walking along the river is quite relaxing and many things going on from street musicians to simply relaxing with sound of water, breeze and nature besides all the laughter going on from adults to kids.

The perfect way to spend a day on a Colorado river! There are many entry points, so you can choose the length of your trip. People from the ages of 8 on up were tubing and paddle boarding while we were there. The walking path along the river is new and very well maintained. There are also well placed rocks, benches, and an amphitheater for you to sit while you watch others tube. There is a sign stating that there is a strictly enforced no alcohol policy and we only saw one group with beers towards sunset.

This would be a great activity for any group from college friends to a family. Everyone was being safe and respectful...
