CLASS II-III     2 miles
  The 2 miles above to 1/2 mile below Buffalo stretch of Clear Creek is 2 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class II-III section. The wonderful Johnson County scenery and the water flowing gracefully down Clear Creek are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. Getting your paddling muscles activated and spending some quality time in nature are great reasons to come. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this area has a pretty small number of paddling places. This is one
    of a small number of paddling stretches in this river system, there are a few others too. This stretch is short so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging,
so you'd better keep in mind that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners. There are some good hotels near the river, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby.
