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
River Bend Campground offers a secluded camping experience along Huntington Creek in the Manti-La Sal National Forest. Located on Utah Highway 31, the Huntington Canyon National Scenic Byway, this primitive site sits at roughly 7,100 feet elevation in a shaded creekside setting. The campground consists of a single double site that can accommodate up to 12 people. Facilities are minimal: a graveled parking spur, picnic table, and fire ring. There is no potable water or toilet on-site. Campers can access a vault restroom at Little Bear Campground approximately half a mile north, and potable water is available at Stuart Guard Station about 7 miles away. Recreational opportunities include fishing in Huntington Creek and access to several hiking and biking trails: Huntington Pipeline Trail (3.5 miles), Left Fork of Huntington National Recreational Trail (6 miles), Tie Fork/Wild Cattle/Pole Canyon Trails (7+ miles), and Horse Canyon Trails (8+ miles).
Directions
From Huntington, Utah, head northwest on Highway 31 for approximately 13 miles. The campground is on the left side of the road.
