David S. D'Evelyn Junior/Senior High School (known as D'Evelyn) is a public secondary school near Lakewood, Colorado, United States. It is included in the Jefferson County R-1 public school district. While remaining an open public school without charter or magnet status, D'Evelyn consistently ranks among the top 100 high schools in the US. D’Evelyn’s academic tenets derive from the efforts of a volunteer council to create an "alternative educational environment" in the early 1990s. D’Evelyn’s eponymous founder, David S. D’Evelyn, died in a plane crash before the council's efforts resulted in the successful enactment of the Colorado Charter Schools Act of 1993 and the nascent school secured the "option school" status required to pursue its own academic objectives with a high degree of freedom from the district.

Bear Creek Dam (Colorado)

Bear Creek Dam was built on the Bear Creek River, formerly called Grand Encampment as a noteworthy place where multiple Indian tribes gathered, traded, and settled, as reported in an 1816 survey of the area by a French party. The US Army Corps of Engineers built and operates a dam on the confluence of Bear Creek and Turkey Creek within the city limits of Lakewood, Colorado.The City of Lakewood maintains and operates the 2,600 acre Bear Creek Park in this historic area, which is heavily used by a wide array of neighborhoods and income groups in metro Denver and the mountains. The stream corridors and trails leading up to and surround the reservoirs are home to eagles, owls, and many other creatures, and provide a quiet and natural respite for metro residents. The park and trails are a central component of a larger regional multi-use trail system, a connected destination from the south and north on protected multi-use trails as well as the west through Morrison and east along the Bear Creek Trail corridor. Within the park there are miles of quiet dirt paths along streams as well as paved multiple-use trails to explore on foot, bicycle or horseback, a Visitor Center featuring displays and Naturalist Programs, a swim beach and marina with boat rentals, and a 47 site campground with electrical hook ups, as well as a heavily used partially shaded beach. There are also Horseback riding stables offering guided rides, and Water ski school and fishing opportunities in the summer months.
