Labor Day is grosser than previously thought, especially for river goers in the Centennial State.

Tubing Colorado rivers is a celebrated pastime, but a recent study of the environmental impact is enough to make you rethink diving in. 

From the Sun:

“Researchers took a closer look at the water in Clear Creek as it flows through a popular tubing area in Golden over Labor Day weekend in 2022 to get an idea of recreational impacts to streams and rivers. The small pilot study found elevated levels of lead, bacteria linked to the human gut, and signs of painkillers, cocaine and more in the water.”

Yuck. Watch the water, but maybe keep your distance.
