Some highly localized amounts to 6-8" are also possible, particularly across terrain-favored locations in southwestern Utah, the Book Cliffs, and Bear River Range. * WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible. * WHERE...A portion of Utah, including the following areas, Castle Country, Central Mountains, Eastern Juab/Millard Counties, San Rafael Swell, Sanpete Valley, Sevier Valley, Wasatch Plateau/Book Cliffs, Bryce Canyon Country, Capitol Reef National Park and Vicinity, Glen Canyon Recreation Area/Lake Powell, South Central Utah, Southern Mountains, Upper Sevier River Valleys, Western Canyonlands, Lower Washington County, Southwest Utah and Zion National Park. This also includes recent burn scars such as Forsyth, Cottonwood, Silver King, France Canyon, and Monroe Canyon. * WHEN...From Saturday afternoon through Monday afternoon. * 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. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Anomalously high moisture is forecast to impact the region with the arrival of the remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel. While this is expected to be a long duration rainfall event, scattered instances of heavier rainfall rates are expected with stronger storms yielding flash flooding concerns given saturated soils and prior burn scars. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood

About
Oak Creek Campground occupies a scenic stretch of Oak Creek Canyon in the Fishlake National Forest, roughly 4 miles east of Oak City, Utah. The campground is shaded by a dense canopy of oak, maple, and cottonwood trees lining the banks of Oak Creek, creating a cool retreat during hot summer days. The campground features 17 individual campsites split between an upper and lower loop, plus 4 reservable group sites. Amenities include vault toilets, potable drinking water from a hand pump (seasonal), picnic tables, campfire rings, and grills at each site. An amphitheater, volleyball court, and play field are also on-site. There are no hookups, and it is a pack-in/pack-out facility with no garbage service. Rainbow trout fishing in Oak Creek is the primary attraction. OHV trails are accessible nearby, though ATVs within the campground are restricted to ingress and egress only. The upper loop has narrow roads, so smaller trailers are recommended.
