The Provo River is running high and is expected to stay that way for the next few weeks, making conditions more dangerous.
"The water levels, they were expected to rise but with the change in the forecast, we may have peaked already," Provo River Commissioner Scott Bergendorf said. "There's a chance we won't have to go up any higher, but we don't know for sure yet."
"We haven't seen this level in quite some time," Steve Myers, the owner of High Country Adventure said. "A lot of mud's coming in. This is about the dirtiest I've seen it in several, several years." "Don't press your luck by continuing into an area if you see flooding ... in an area that hasn't yet been closed," Sgt. Spencer Cannon with the Utah County Sheriff's Office said.Crews work to clear debris, including a large log, from the Provo River Tuesday. Some people are ignoring warning signs and recreating in dangerous, closed areas of Provo Canyon, officials say.
