Carroll Creek (Clear Creek tributary)

Carroll Creek is a small tributary of Clear Creek in Colorado, USA. It is located in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. The creek's origin lies in the higher elevations, fed primarily by snowmelt and rainfall. It flows generally eastward, joining Clear Creek near the town of Georgetown.

Carroll Creek is primarily known for its contribution to the water supply of Clear Creek and, ultimately, the South Platte River system. The surrounding area is characterized by typical mountain terrain, with forests of pine and aspen. Recreation activities in the area include hiking and fishing, although access may be limited due to private land ownership in some sections. While not a particularly large or well-known stream, Carroll Creek represents a typical element of the hydrological network within the Clear Creek watershed.

The creek's name likely originates from a historical figure or family associated with the area, although specific details regarding the naming are not readily available.
