Boulder County Sheriff Curtis Johnson will rescind the tubing ban for Boulder Creek, effective at 5 p.m. today.
According to a release, deputies will be removing the posted signage by the creek.
The initial restrictions took effect on June 12, due to high water flow from melted snow.
The closure encompassed Boulder Creek from below Boulder Falls at Boulder Canyon Drive to 55th Street, according to the release.
Although water levels have fallen, officers advised to be aware that the water conditions still may not be safe for your skill and comfort level.
Police also recommended to always use caution and wear personal safety equipment while recreating near bodies of water.
Examples of personal safety equipment include a personal flotation device or life jacket, a drysuit or wetsuit, and a helmet.
Those using water sport equipment like tubes or kayaks, are asked to place their name and contact information on the equipment in the event that they lose it in the water.
The tubing ban for the St. Vrain Creek was lifted on Thursday.
