* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible. * WHERE...A portion of Utah, including the following areas, Castle Country, San Rafael Swell, Bryce Canyon Country, Capitol Reef National Park and Vicinity, Glen Canyon Recreation Area/Lake Powell, South Central Utah, Southern Mountains, Western Canyonlands, Lower Washington County and Zion National Park. * WHEN...From late Saturday night through Sunday evening. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, dry washes, slot canyons, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations such as slickrock areas and recent burn scars. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Widespread moderate to at times heavy precipitation is expected across much of southern, southeast and east central Utah beginning late Saturday night, and continuing throughout the day Sunday. Moist antecedent conditions from recent heavy rains will result in efficient and excessive runoff, allowing all area washes, streams and rivers to run fast and high. Flood prone areas will likely become inundated at times, and backcountry roads will likely become impassable from this excessive runoff. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood

About
City Creek Campground sits at roughly 6,800 feet in the Fishlake National Forest, about 6 miles northwest of Junction, Utah. Cottonwood trees shade the five individual campsites and group area, all positioned along City Creek. The creek supports rainbow trout and is occasionally stocked near the campground. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring, and the campground has a vault toilet but no potable water. This is a popular staging point for OHV enthusiasts. Riders can head north on jeep trails or southeast to connect with the Paiute ATV Trail, which leads through Oak and Cottonwood Basins to an extensive network atop the mountains. Hikers and equestrians will find trails ascending both the North and South forks of City Creek, with the best fishing on the south fork. The campground is free and operates first-come-first-served with no reservations. Sites are fairly small and trailers are not recommended. A 16-day camping limit applies, and ATVs must stay on designated routes per the Beaver Ranger District Travel Map.
Directions
From Junction, Utah, head west on Center Street (Hwy-153) for 5.7 miles. Turn right on FR-131 for 0.6 miles to the campground.
