West Denver Trout
Unlimited’s (WDTU) river restoration project, the Golden Mile. The project
encompassed restoration of nearly one mile of river between the City of
Golden's kayak course, near Lions Park, and the new Jefferson County Open
Space Park Bridge. The project was completed this spring with the goal of
improving habitat for coldwater wildlife, providing an educational resource
for area youth, improving opportunities for nearby recreational fishing, and
providing improved fishing access for the physically handicapped. According
to WDTU Project Director, Miles Williams, “Clear Creek will be the most
accessible quality coldwater stream fishery for many people throughout
Denver." WDTU staff and the contractor (Frontier Construction) gave the tour
and were on hand for questions.
