The Cherry Creek Trail is running high through the Denver metro area as well as the South Platte River.
There are several areas across Colorado under a Flash Flood Watch as the storm system moving through continues to drop more rain and even snow in the higher elevations.
With continued heavy rain and high water, DPR recommends that all trail users avoid Cherry Creek Trail until rain subsides. Please use caution on all other trails, especially along waterways, and turn around if you encounter flooded areas.
