Hydrologic Outlook issued October 8 at 3:13PM MDT by NWS Salt Lake City UT
ESFSLC The remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel will merge with a fall-like storm system over the western United States, bringing moderate to heavy rainfall and a resulting threat of flooding. Widespread rainfall of 1 to 3 inches is expected, locally in excess of 3 inches, particularly across south aspects of southern Utah mountains, between late Saturday and Monday morning. Expect many area waterways including streams, rivers, normally dry washes, creeks, and slot canyons to have rising, fast flows by Sunday evening. Current forecasts do not bring any rivers to flood stage, but this will be monitored as the fine details of heavy rain bands become more confident. Those with activities near rivers, streams, creeks and recent burn scars should closely monitor the forecast over the next several days. Those with outdoor plans Sunday onward that include any travel near waterways across Utah should consider alternate plans. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will remain possible through at least Wednesday. While the rainfall rates with these additional rounds of precipitation will generally be lower, areas that receive significant precipitation during the weekend will be extra sensitive to any additional rainfall.

About
Kents Lake Campground occupies a scenic forested setting at 8,800 feet elevation in Utah's Fishlake National Forest. The campground sits adjacent to Kents Lake, a 50-acre reservoir stocked with brown, brook, and rainbow trout. Sites are nestled among aspen and conifer stands providing varying levels of shade, from light dappled sunlight to full canopy coverage. The campground offers 28 single-family sites and 2 multiple-family sites, with configurations ranging from back-in to pull-through. Sites accommodate trailers and RVs from 24 to 60 feet in length. Every site includes a fire ring or grill and picnic table. Drinking water is available from hand pumps throughout the campground, and two vault toilets serve campers. There are no hookups or dump station on site; the nearest dump station is in Beaver. Fishing is the primary draw, with trout catchable from shore or small non-motorized boats launched at the lake. Trailheads to the Piute ATV trail are nearby, though direct access from the campground is not available. An old rock building on site can be used for group programs or shelter. The campground is managed by High Country Recreation under a Forest Service concession permit.
Directions
From Beaver, Utah, travel east on UT-153 for approximately 10 miles. Turn right onto Forest Road 137 and continue for about 5 miles. The campground will be on the right.
