Clear Creek
Downtown Golden runs right along Clear Creek, which was the site where many prospectors would search for gold in the 1850s, and was in fact discovered along the creek in 1859. Today, Clear Creek is the location that many residents go to for kayaking, fishing, tubing, laying out and enjoying the sun! The area hosts annual events, including the Golden Kayak Rodeo Competition and the Golden Games.
