ST. PETERS, Mo. – Torrential rainfall and flooding have been common around the St. Louis region the last several days, including in St. Peters.

In particular, Lone Wolff Park in St. Peters is experiencing significant flooding, with water levels rising over half a foot, following days of heavy rain.

Floodwaters have completely overtaken the area, swallowing walkways and fields. Lone Wolff Park is just one of several spots across the region battling dangerous flooding after days of heavy rain.

Several residents were unable to enjoy Deer Creek near brentwood due to the walkway being flooded, and one resident was even seen canoeing along the stream of water that covered the path. The water rushed down like a strong stream, forcing the park to close for safety.

In St. Peters, Woodlands Sports Park also shut down due to flooding. Fields were completely underwater, and the park entrance was barricaded off. While some higher walkways remained clear, the parking lot was submerged—only the tops of handicap parking markers were visible in the muddy water.

Lone Wolff Park is also deeply affected. One side of the park has water rising a full foot, while the other is slightly lower—but still soaked and impassable.

After days of torrential rain, many areas around the metro St. Louis region are facing significant flooding threats. Rivers and creeks are running high, with some already over flood stage.

According to the National Weather Service, major flooding is expected in areas like Valley Park and Eureka along the Meramec River and in Vandalia, Illinois, along the Kaskaskia River. Some crests are projected to reach over 30 feet by midweek.

In addition, roads near dardenne creek by Mexico Road and West Sunny Hill are already underwater, and nearly every Missouri and Illinois county in the St. Louis area remains under a flood watch through Sunday morning.
