This is a moderately challenging road offering a great ride for your ATV. Clear Creek Road is managed by the San Isabel National Forest and receives heavy use in the summer. Be very aware you will be sharing these narrow ATV trails with other ATVers, four-wheelers, hikers, horseback riders, and motorcycle riders.
This ATV trail is great for beginners to hone their technical skills for maneuvering their ATVs and more experienced riders will enjoy these trails as well for their scenic beauty along the 12 mile ATV ride.
The road on the way to the trailhead is rough and graveled, but passable for most vehicles. The first segment of Clear Creek Road is through private ranch land, be respectful of the private property and leave everything as you found it. Shortly afterwards, the ATV trail enters forest land with lush aspen, pine and shrub growth on both sides of the road. The road is not very narrow and still passable by even passenger cars at this point. If you brought your gear and fishing permit, there is great fishing in nearby Clear Creek.
If you like to explore as you ride your ATV, you're riding the right trail! There is a museum in the ghost town of Vicksburg, about 8 miles from U.S. 24. As you climb gradually toward Winfield, Clear Creek disappears and reappears through the undergrowth. Several of the buildings at Winfield are maintained by the historical society and are marked; the rest of the buildings are privately owned.
