It’s hot out there! Want to beat the heat? Enjoy some of the most refreshing water we have in town along Boulder Creek! We are so lucky in Boulder to have the Boulder Creek running right through town. Hit some of the hot spots to go tubing, wading, swimming, kayaking, or just sit next to the water to enjoy the sights and sounds. To get the best access to Boulder Creek try Eben G. Fine Park at the West end of Arapahoe, park at the Boulder Public Library where you can walk right over to a beautiful shady spot near the creek, or find it anywhere along the bike path.
