The 4-8 inch rainfall totals on August 14-15 produced a flood crest 3.5 feet higher than the low water crossing elevation. Low stages at the site are usually around 1.4 feet, but a crest of 4.9 feet occurred at 4:00 am CST on August 15.The flash flooding deposited brush and debris along the Honey Creek, and 150 tons of sand were delivered to the area to rebuild washed-away beaches., The City of Davis, which owns the park, was forced to close it for about a week while repairs were made.
