CautionUpdated

Flash-flood hazard in canyons and washes

Heavy rains can cause sudden flooding in Capitol Reef’s canyons and washes; do not hike or drive through floodwater.

  • Get to high ground and wait for flooding to subside; roads may close temporarily, with closures posted at the visitor center.

Check current park conditions before traveling.

CautionUpdated

E. coli advisory for Fremont River and Sulphur Creek

Do not swim in the Fremont River or Sulphur Creek or get water in your mouth: NPS reports elevated E. coli in both waterways, and Utah DEQ has issued a warning advisory.

  • DEQ reports Sulphur Creek E. coli counts above safe recreational thresholds; harmful bacteria and/or viruses may be present, and exposure may make people sick.
  • DEQ’s sampled locations are Fruita Picnic Area (above the Fremont River confluence) and the Highway 24 crossing; wash hands with soap and water after touching the water.

Check current park conditions before entering either waterway.
