This is so easy to get to and so beautiful to see! Take the time to drive out and visit. Very easy parking and the view is majestic! We were even treated with deer at the top enjoying the water. We went in the morning - around 8am.

Unexpected find! Was looking for something else, when we pulled into the parking area to consult my map. Decided to walk out to see it since we're here. Was expecting a small trickle of a waterfall because the creek above was a smaller one. We could hear the thunder of the falls before walking up to it. Very nice find.

We stopped on our way home from Creede to Lake City. It was really easy to get to not a long walk and anyone should be able to get to see it maybe even with a wheel chair. There is restrooms also at this spot. Very beautiful waterfall if you have time it is a must see.

What a beautiful waterfall and completely unexpected given the surrounding area. I gave only 4 stars because I feel the forest service could maintain the area a little better by cutting down dead trees blocking the view and installing a picnic area worthy of the surroundings.

The falls are raging this year from all the snow melt. They are huge! Absolutely worth seeing.. you can take the north entrance which is just right off Highway 149 or you can take the south entrance which takes you on a four mile route off road through the forest which is very nice and easy to travel. Very easy to get to the falls, no hiking required and they have restrooms.

Very nice water fall in a beautiful location. You are driving through a mountain valley and do not see where a waterfall can be until you pull into the parking area and walk to the overlook area. Also a beautiful mountain view if you walk up the ridge behind the falls parking lot. Take a left out of the parking lot and you go on a scenic ride on an all vehicle dirt road that loops back to the highway in about 5 miles.

Beautiful waterfall just a short walk from the parking lot. Plan to stay a little while and see it from different angles on the walking path. The drive from Creede on the silver thread scenic byway is very pretty and scenic.

"CLEAR"-ly a local favorite, but hidden gem as thousands of tourists speed by, unaware that it is so close and yet so spectacular! The falls, between Creede and Lake City on Highway 149 are amazing and so VERY accessible!
Even though the falls can be reached by driving Clear Creek Forest Service (dirt) road for four miles, it is readily accessible by driving down a paved road for 1/2 mile right from Highway 149. (Just watch for the Forest Service sign..) From the small parking lot, the falls are a short walk ahead. You will hear them, but you will not see them - until you are right there! And, then, YOU WILL BE AMAZED!
(note: the forest service has a small, very clean vault toilet on site)

Stunning experience! It was remarkable that the little creek would blast out such a fabulous waterfall! It seems to come out of nowhere! It’s easy to miss since the canyon is almost hidden.

Drive off the main road and be surprised by the gorgeous waterfall. Nice viewing areas and safe for kids. Worth the side trip and they had a portabathroom

So funny you are from Delavan Wisc, my sister lives there on Creek Rd., we are going to Clear Crk Falls,Friday, I think you mentioned a short ride 5mi turning left coming out of the falls, where does it end up back on 140.

If you turn left coming out of the parking lot for the falls, the road will take you back around to 149. You just need to stay to the right as there are a couple turn-offs that dead end. From the parking lot, it is just at 4 miles back to 149. At about 3.7 miles, there is a place on the right you can pull off and the trail there takes you up to the base of South Clear Creek Falls. We have had someone drop us off there and they took our jeep up to the parking area for South Clear Creek Falls. It is a pretty easy hike.
