Middle Boulder Creek rises as two forks from the Continental Divide: the North Fork rises in a cirque below Mount Neva and flows 7.5 miles to the South Fork The South Fork rises at Rollins Pass on the Continental Divide and flows 5.5 miles to the North Fork. From the junction of the two forks, Middle Boulder Creek, 13.7 miles long, flows east through the towns of Eldora and Nederland into Barker Meadow Reservoir, a water supply for the city of Boulder, before joining North Boulder Creek to form the main stem of Boulder Creek.
