This site is intended to communicate information about conservation projects and initiatives that enhance and/or damage Boulder's watershed. The site is administered by the Boulder Flycasters, a Trout Unlimited Chapter, that has been actively engaged with conservation for over 50 years. Members and friends of this organization are interested in clean water, life sustaining flows, and recreational access.
The Boulder Creek Watershed is approximately 1,160 square kilometers (447 square miles) in area and is located in the Front Range of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, east of the Continental Divide. The watershed includes all the land area that drains water into Boulder Creek. The watershed has great variation in geology, climate, and land cover. Tributaries of Boulder Creek include North, Middle, and South Boulder Creeks, Fourmile Creek, Coal Creek, and Rock Creek, along with several smaller streams. These streams generally flow from west to east. Boulder Creek empties into Saint Vrain Creek, which empties into the South Platte River. The water in Boulder Creek eventually reaches the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico. The communities of Boulder, Louisville, Lafayette, Erie, Superior, and Nederland are in the watershed, along with parts of Arvada, Broomfield, and Frederick.
