Waters from Capitol Lake and the Deschutes River basin caused flooding Dec. 9-11 at Marathon Park.

Following local flooding from Deschutes River, Marathon Park and trail are open.

What

The Department of Enterprise Services (DES) has reopened public areas around Capitol Lake.

Where

Why

Earlier this week, heavy rain and high tides caused flood conditions in low-lying areas around Capitol Lake. DES closed the park and trail Tuesday. Since then, tides and river flows have dropped.

When

The park and trail are now open. We appreciate your patience while our staff worked to keep the area safe.
