Flood warnings and flood alerts have been issued as rain continues to soak the county.
The Environment Agency are warning people to stray away from low lying roads as the water levels are expected to rise again.
A spokesman for the agency said: "River levels have peaked and are now falling at the Linstock river gauge as a result of Storm Christoph. With further rain forecast for overnight, the risk of flooding remains. We expect a second peak around midday tomorrow though this is likely to be lower than the levels reached today.
"Flooding is expected to affect low lying roads, car parks, public spaces and recreational facilities at Rickerby Park, Swifts and Stoneyholme Golf Courses.
"We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are checking defences.
"Please avoid using low lying footpaths near rivers."
