Clear Creek has a bike/walking path among much of the waterway. Additionally there are great rock steps for creek access and even a pass through gate in some areas.

Clear Creek has a ton of features to fish. Shallow pools, fast rapids, tight spaces - it is a great creek for the beginner to expert angler!
