Exercise caution near rivers and streams

• Conditions can change very quickly - recreational activities are not advised, due to swift current, cold temperatures, flooded vegetation and the presence of a significant amount of debris.
• Follow all trail closure signage and recommended safety guidelines. Click here for trail closure information.
• Banks may be unstable due to erosion.
• If caught in fast-moving water, float feet first in a half-sit position.
• If someone else is caught, reach out or throw a rope. Do not go into the water yourself.

Avoid flood waters

• Use caution when driving. Cars or other vehicles do not provide adequate protection from floodwaters.
• DO NOT drive through floodwaters.
• Swiftly moving shallow water can be deadly. Floodwaters typically move much faster than it appears and can carry large, dangerous debris.

Report blocked drains

• Please call 970-221-6700 to report blocked stormwater drains.
