The City of Longmont Parks and Natural Resources Department has lifted the voluntary temporary recreational closure of the St. Vrain Creek.

The closure – initiated on June 7, 2023 – impacted the area downstream of Izaak Walton Park to the 119th Street Trailhead. At that time, it was announced that the closure would remain in place until water flows fell below 400 cubic feet per second (cfs) on the meter along the St. Vrain Creek in Hygiene. On June 29 flows dropped below 400 cfs, resulting in today’s lifting of the recreational closure. You can view current St. Vrain Creek water levels at bit.ly/stvrainlevels. 

While recreational residents and visitors are welcome to pursue recreational water activities along this section of the St. Vrain Creek, they are strongly encouraged, as always, to wear safety equipment, including helmets and personal flotation devices.

If you have questions or concerns, please contact the Public Works & Natural Resources service center at 303-651-8416.
