The Lawson
Hole Whitewater Park
By identifying
the development of the Greenway as a priority, Clear Creek County Open Space also
identified primary nodes along its course that present unique multi-use recreational
opportunities. The creekside county land and former BLM parcel near Lawson is one of
these nodes. Not only is it along the greenway route, but it is already a popular
destination for kayakers, four wheelers, and anglers. Also nearby, is the Silver
Creek Trail and popular mountain biking areas.
Clear Creek
County Open Space is partnering with Clear Creek Economic Development Corporation, Clear
Creek Metropolitan Recreation District and others to develop this site to improve upon,
and take full advantage of the various activities already drawn to this area. Below
is a link to a preliminary concept plan demonstrating what such development may look
like. It includes improvements such as designated parking, four-wheel staging areas,
river access, kayak viewing, trail heads, greenway trail, and commercial activity.
Clear Creek
County Open Space feels strongly that this site is paramount to the Clear Creek Greenway -
as well as economic development for the County. Therefore, through a partnership
with CCEDC, and CCRMD, planning for the site and adjacent area is currently underway.
