Flood Watch issued October 9 at 12:59PM MST until October 12 at 5:00AM MST by NWS Flagstaff AZ

12:59 PM — October 10th, 12:00 PM

* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible. * WHERE...Yavapai, western Coconino, northern Gila, and far southern Navajo counties. * WHEN...From Saturday morning through late Sunday night. * IMPACTS...Flash flooding will be possible in creeks, normally dry washes, swimming holes, and over recently burned areas. Low-water crossings may be flooded. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - A upper-level trough will help pull moisture from the remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel up into western Arizona to produce showers and thunderstorms Saturday, followed by extended periods of rainfall through at least Sunday. Thunderstorms will have the potential to produce heavy rainfall that could lead to flash flooding, while extended periods of rain can lead to elevated streams, rivers, and flow through washes. Greatest risk of heavy rainfall looks be along higher terrain due to upsloping. - Additional information is available at weather.gov/flagstaff.

About

Upper Wolf Creek Group Campground provides a quiet, secluded setting for groups seeking a forest camping experience near Prescott, Arizona. Set at 6,000 feet elevation in a ponderosa pine forest with scattered boulders, the campground is intentionally located away from other developed recreation sites. The thinly spaced trees facilitate group activities and RV parking for vehicles up to 40 feet. The central gathering area includes 13 picnic tables, 5 charcoal grills, and a large fire ring. Recreation amenities include a volleyball/badminton court with net and a horseshoe pit (equipment not provided). A 4-seat vault toilet provides restroom facilities, and garbage service is available. Campers must bring their own drinking water as none is provided on-site. Numerous hiking and mountain biking trails in the Bradshaw Mountains surround the campground, and 15-acre Goldwater Lake is just a few miles away for fishing, boating, and kayaking. The historic town of Prescott is only 8 miles away for supplies and services.

Directions

From Prescott, take Senator Highway (Mt. Vernon Avenue) south for about 6 miles. Pass the entrance to Goldwater Lake and the community of Groom Creek. The pavement ends about 500 feet before Forest Road 97. Turn right onto FR 97 and travel 0.75 miles to the group campground on the right. FR 97 is unpaved but suitable for all vehicles in dry conditions.
