Jefferson County and the owner of property along Bear Creek at Kittredge Park have agreed to a temporary arrangement to allow the public access to Bear Creek.
Beach access is limited to the north side of the creek in the park only during park hours, which are one hour before sunrise and one hour after sunset, according to information supplied by the county. A path to access the creek has been marked for park-goers to use.
Unreasonable noise, overnight camping, motorized vehicles, consumption of marijuana and digging are prohibited, the county said. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult, and dogs must be leashed and waste picked up.
The agreement announced on July 22 comes after Jefferson County on July 13 filed with Jefferson County courts for a preliminary injunction to stop the property owner, Taralyn Romero, from blocking the public from using the creek access. It is unclear what will happen to the preliminary-injunction request.
