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
Little Cottonwood Campground provides a comfortable base for exploring Fishlake National Forest near Beaver, Utah. Located along the scenic Beaver River at 6,500 feet elevation, the campground features well-shaded sites beneath cottonwood, aspen, pinion, juniper, and ponderosa pine trees. All 14 paved campsites include picnic tables and fire rings/grills, with an accessible flush toilet restroom serving the campground. Recreation opportunities abound, with stream fishing available directly from an accessible fishing path within the campground. The nearby Cottonwood Trail offers hiking and horseback riding access through rugged terrain southwest toward Horse Flat. The Piute ATV Trail is also accessible nearby, though ATVs must be trailered to designated trailheads as there is no direct access from the campground. Two ADA-accessible sites are available for reservation. The campground accommodates RVs up to 40 feet but has no hookups. Potable water is available from a hand pump during the operating season. This is a pack-in/pack-out facility with no garbage services on-site.
Directions
From Beaver, Utah, travel east on UT-153 for approximately 6.6 miles. The campground will be on the right (west) side of the road.
