Naperville Riverwalk Still Flooded As Rains Continue: Photos

NAPERVILLE, IL — Parts of the Naperville Riverwalk remained submerged Thursday, though water levels had begun to recede after days of consistent rainfall. As of Thursday afternoon, a flood warning was still in effect for the west branch of the DuPage River as river levels remained at around 9.5 feet near Naperville, according to the National Weather Service and the U.S. Geological Survey.

Photos taken near North Central College, along Pioneer Park Trail, and south of Bailey Riverwalk Trail show water levels cresting the river's edge, swallowing lower parts of the riverwalk, and coming dangerously close to the underside of an overpass.

One resident who posted photos of the Naperville Riverwalk Thursday afternoon said the DuPage River was at "one of the highest levels" he has seen in the over two decades he has lived in Naperville.

Another social media user shared photos of the Riverwalk near downtown Naperville, where water levels had risen above many of the murals along the Riverwalk.

According to the National Weather Service, a flood warning remains in effect in Naperville until 7 p.m. Friday.
