Hydrologic Outlook issued December 29 at 9:26PM PST by NWS Eureka CA
ESFEKA A series of atmospheric rivers will bring an increased risk for urban and small stream flooding late this week and into this weekend. The first round of rain will arrive Wednesday night into Thursday and provide generally light to moderate rainfall amounts. Locally heavy rain is expected in the King Range. This initial period of rain will set the stage for a more intense rainstorm expected to arrive Friday into Friday night. Current indications are for the heaviest rainfall to occur during the day on Friday into Friday night. The greatest risk for small stream flooding will occur during this time period and probably continue into Saturday after heavy rain has ended due to the lag in rainfall run-off. Road closures will be possible. At this point, the area of greatest concern is in southern Humboldt and northwest Mendocino counties. Small rivers, streams and creeks such as Elk river, Jacoby creek and Mattole river could exceed their banks and flood area roads. Southern Mendocino and Lake counties may also experience heavy rain and road flooding will be possible. Mainstem rivers will also likely rise sharply and will need to be monitored for possible flood stage exceedance. Be on the lookout for watches, advisories and warning as this next heavy rain event unfolds. Stay alert and remember to never attempt to drive through water covered roads. Water may be moving much faster than you think.
About
Denny Campground is a small, remote campground nestled in the Trinity County wilderness of Shasta-Trinity National Forest, providing a peaceful retreat for campers seeking solitude along the New River. This primitive facility features 5 first-come, first-served campsites, with one site able to accommodate trailers up to 22 feet in length. The campground offers vault toilets and picnic tables at each site, but visitors must bring their own water as no potable water is available on-site. The campground's location along the New River provides excellent opportunities for fishing, swimming, and wildlife viewing. A steep trail leads down from the campground to the river, offering access for anglers and swimmers. The surrounding forest also provides opportunities for hiking, backpacking, and hunting in season. The remote setting makes this an ideal destination for experienced campers who appreciate a more primitive camping experience away from crowds. Access to Denny Campground requires following State Route 299 to Hawkins Bar, then turning north on Denny Road. The remote location and primitive amenities make this campground best suited for self-sufficient campers who are prepared for backcountry-style camping. No fees are charged for camping at this site, and dogs are welcome but must be kept on a leash of 6 feet or shorter.
Directions
Follow State Route 299 to Hawkins Bar and turn north on Denny Road. Follow to the campground.
