Sheriff closes North, South St. Vrain and Boulder creeks to tubers due to high water

The Boulder Creek closure is from the Barker Dam east of Nederland to the Weld County line. That means the section of the creek that runs through Boulder and is popular for tubing is also closed. The creek was also closed last summer for a short period of time.

“It’s not uncommon, usually in May and June, when we start getting the runoff,” said Cmdr. Rick Brough, spokesman for the Sheriff’s Office.

The closures on North and South St. Vrain creeks include both St. Vrain canyons as well as the section of the creek that flows through Lyons and then east to Longmont.

Sean Griffin, 40, grew up in Connecticut; Staci Griffin, 41, in Arizona. They met at work, where Staci was Sean’s boss, and they moved to Connecticut, where they married in 1996. After a stint in Tennessee, they moved to Longmont’s Prospect neighborhood in 2007. Wanting to be their own bosses, they bought Boulder Stove & Flooring.
