Clear Creek is a picturesque Colorado trout stream that flows from high in the Rocky Mountains near the Continental Divide and Loveland Pass through historic mining towns like Georgetown, Silver Plume, and Idaho Springs before continuing through Clear Creek Canyon and ultimately reaching Golden. Though historically affected by mining activities, the creek has been cleaned up in recent years and now supports healthy populations of trout throughout its length. More of a river than a creek in many places, Clear Creek offers anglers diverse fishing opportunities with easily accessible waters that run parallel to I-70 and Highway 6 for miles, making it a convenient destination for Denver-area anglers looking for quality fishing without a lengthy drive.
