Welcome to the Clear Creek County Recreation in the Outdoors Management Plan (ROMP)

After a year of collaboration across stakeholders and with excellent community input, the project team has completed a final draft of the ROMP, a plan for how Clear Creek County can manage recreation together. On December 19th, the Clear Creek County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) approved this final draft as adopted and accepted. A summary of the report is also available here.

WHY was the ROMP created?

The goal of the ROMP was to create an aligned vision for recreation management, to establish management priorities, and form the capacity to help Clear Creek County protect our natural resources and provide high quality recreational amenities for residents that can support a sustainable economy.

WHAT does the ROMP Say?

The ROMP recommends that the communities and Land Managers in Clear Creek County work together under a Recreation Management Principle of Conservation & Sustainability to advance four Recreation Management Priorities (RMPs):

TRAILS SYSTEMS RMP: The Trails Systems RMP has three parts

  1. Evaluate and coordinate trails management and trails system needs across the county and with all land managers.
  2. Address use at high-use trailheads.
  3. Develop user-specific management plans for user groups like OHV users or road cyclists

RIVER ACCESS & RECREATION RMP: Promote conservation, improve and coordinate permitting, develop a strategy for use types and access on the creek.

DESTINATION MANAGEMENT RMP: Strategies that foster visitor stewardship and responsible tourism, wayfinding; incorporate transportation solutions.

RECREATION ECONOMY PLANNING RMP: Ensure recreation planning goals prioritize economic opportunities, benefit residents and maintain culture, while minimizing negative impacts to natural resources.

HOW was the ROMP created?

The Clear Creek ROMP is a county-wide recreation planning project funded by a Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) grant. It was informed by an 18-month process, where a three project teams worked to review past research and gather new data. Three teams of subject matter experts, stakeholders and community members participated and volunteered their time along with staff from the county and all the land management agencies in the county. The ROMP was supported with facilitation and research by Keystone Policy Center and SE Group. See the right-hand sidebar for more details.

WHERE do we go from here?

Each of the 4 RMPs will be advanced with cross-jurisdictional support and input. Visit this page to follow progress os the details for each RMP unfold.
