About Idaho Springs

Idaho Springs is a community of approximately 1,717 residents in Clear Creek County County, CO. This close-knit community values compassionate, local service providers who understand the bond between families and their pets.

Historic mining town in the Clear Creek Canyon with Victorian-era homes, mountain cabins, and limited newer construction.

Victorian-era frame homes, small mountain cabins, and modular homes packed tightly in the narrow canyon along Clear Creek.

Local Considerations

  • Clear Creek flooding is a major risk with homes built in the narrow canyon floor vulnerable to rapid water-level rise.
  • Abandoned mine tailings and legacy mining contamination affect soil and groundwater quality in portions of the town.

Water System

City of Idaho Springs draws from Clear Creek with a small treatment plant; water quality is closely monitored for mine runoff.

Emergency Access

I-70 provides direct access but winter closures and traffic backups can significantly delay emergency response from Denver metro.
