Hydrologic Outlook issued October 9 at 12:13AM PDT by NWS Elko NV
ESFLKN A low pressure system over the Pacific Northwest will drop southward into Northern California Sunday. This storm system will draw abundant atmospheric moisture associated with Tropical Storm Rachel northward into Eastern Nevada, resulting in the likelihood of rain Sunday and Sunday night. Slow storm motions and/or training cells may produce heavy rainfall and localized flooding. Of particular concern are recent, large burn scars, including the Ward fire south of Ely and the Oxley fire north of Wells. Numerous smaller burn scare from this fire season also remain vulnerable to flash flooding and debris flow. Residents near burn scars should have multiple ways to receive Flash Flood Warning and be prepared to act quickly. Travelers and recreationists should also remain alert and consider alternate plans.
About
Berry Creek Dispersed Campground sits in the Duck Creek Basin area of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest in White Pine County, Nevada. This primitive campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no fees and no reservations. Basic amenities include vault toilets, picnic tables, and campfire rings, though campers must bring their own drinking water as none is available on site. The campground serves as a base for year-round recreation. During warmer months, visitors enjoy stream fishing in Berry Creek, day hiking, backpacking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. Winter brings opportunities for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Horse and pack animals are permitted, making this a good staging area for backcountry trips. Access is via US-93 north from Ely to McGill, then 5 miles further north to the Duck Creek Basin turnoff. Turn east on Duck Creek Basin Road and left onto Berry Creek Road (NF-424/568). The campground typically opens at the end of May and closes mid-October, depending on weather and road conditions.
Directions
