River levels are forecast to reach "Action Level" at the Saxon Road bridge, Cedarville and Ferndale.
Ferndale Police had been dispatched just before due to reports of a man sitting on the railing barefoot.
This is the 2nd year of what the organizer calls the "Ferndale Float."
1 person had made it off the gravel bar and, after hours of trying to get the 2nd person off, they then called 911.
Log jams and other river debris can quickly pull and trap water recreationists underneath.
Ferndale Police received a report from a passerby who noticed tire marks leading from Ferndale Road over the berm and into the river.
No estimate is available for how long the road will remain closed.
The river level is forecast to crest late today at about the 17-foot mark.
