Sheriff Mike Hollinshead

Due to heavy winter snow in the mountains of Elmore County, flooding has become a significant issue as the spring weather arrives with warming temperatures.

Roads have washed out in the Pine and Featherville area. The Bumgardner Road and the Old Logging Road are closed due to flooding and washing out of the roadways. Evacuations of campgrounds and some residential subdivisions have been necessary. All campsites North of the Pine Bridge are closed.

The middle Fork Road to Atlanta has been significantly affected. The extent of that damage is pending reports from ground teams in those areas.

Prairie has also been affected. Smith Creek Road has washed out and several campers were evacuated without injury. Campsites at Smith Creek are also closed.
