COLORADO – Safety officials are warning people to be careful on Colorado’s creeks and rivers.
The U.S. Geological survey says recent rainfall has created some of the highest water levels seen since 1995.
Clear Creek was rushing at about 2,000 cubic feet per second on Friday, enough to fill an Olympic-size pool in 45 seconds.
Many people lack experience with fast water. Inexperience combined with rushing flow and debris creates dangerous conditions.
