DENVER (KDVR) -- Restrictions limiting waterway activities on Clear Creek were lifted by the City of Golden and the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office on Wednesday.

The restrictions were originally placed on June 9 due to water flow concerns, according to the sheriff's office, which said in a post on X that water flow measurements have been calming.

"While the water flow measurements have shown a continued decrease since its peak, all users are encouraged to be very cautious when conducting activities on Clear Creek," the sheriff's office said.

The restrictions had extended from Jefferson County's western border at State Highway 119 eastward along the canyon through the city limits of Golden to Vanover Park, according to the sheriff's office.

The sheriff's office advised that Clear Creek still presents "many" risks to the public, on account of water temperature, undercut rocks, and potential strainers such as a tree, root system, guard rails or fencing, among other safety concerns.

"The surface can look manageable, but the current underneath can be so strong that it may not be possible to stand up," the sheriff's office said.

Residents are also advised to keep an eye on their pets and children, who the sheriff's office said can be "swept away quickly" in the event they were to lose their footing or unexpectedly fall.

"If someone does fall in the water, do not go in after them. Keep an eye on them as best you can and follow them downstream along the bank until rescue crews can arrive," the sheriff's office said.

The sheriff's office further "strongly" recommends wearing a life jacket and helmet, and choosing water footwear to prevent cuts and slips.
