Farther downstream there are more swimming holes, like the one where the old Seltzer Dam was located (and since removed) and the area the locals refer to as 'Forty Foot Hole,' where there are deep pools and high cliffs to jump from.

It's thus very hard to get into the canyon before it starts to widen again around the place where it goes beneath the Placer Street Bridge. After that, though, the canyon becomes progressively more difficult to enter, as it narrows and winds through the rocky hills. It's again easily accessible from the area around the NEED Camp, also called Whiskeytown Environmental School. From that point most of the way down to its confluence with the Sacramento River in South Redding it carves a narrow canyon through the granite hills. The water then flows past the dam and turns back into a creek again. From there the creek flows into and creates Whiskeytown Lake (reservoir). It can be access at its upper reaches as it passes through French Gulch, a small town about 10 miles west of Redding. Clear Creek is long enough that no single site along its length can truly represent the entirety of it.
