Charlie Taylor Waterwheel

The Clear Creek Greenway Trail offers a delightful escape along the creek, primarily on smooth, paved surfaces. You'll find yourself immersed in forested areas with picturesque views, and you might even spot some local wildlife. The route is dotted with interesting features like the historic Charlie Taylor Waterwheel and various historical engines, providing a pleasant blend of nature and local heritage.

This easy 2.6-mile (4.2 km) jogging route involves a gentle 138 feet (42 metres) of elevation gain, taking approximately 26 minutes to complete. While many segments are easy and accessible, it's worth noting that the trail system is still under development, and some sections may experience closures until 2029. Check for current conditions and potential shuttle services if you plan to explore longer stretches.

As a key component of the larger Peaks-to-Plains (P2P) trail system, the Clear Creek Greenway is designed for multi-use, accommodating joggers, cyclists, and walkers. It provides excellent recreational access, including fishing spots along Clear Creek, and is generally suitable for year-round enjoyment, with some paved sections even groomed for winter activities.
