The primary flow provider is snowmelt from the surrounding mountains. The stream does not have any major dams, but there are several tributaries that contribute to its flow, including Chicago Creek and Bear Creek. The flow of Clear Creek is highest in the spring due to snowmelt and can be dangerous for recreation during this time. In the summer, flow may decrease due to decreased snowmelt and increased water usage. Clear Creek is a popular destination for whitewater rafting and kayaking, with Class III and IV rapids.
