The towpath has been closed as has Mardol Gardens on the other side of the county town's river Severn loop.
Flood alerts remain in place in some parts of Shropshire but the Met Office forecasts suggests that the worst of the recent deluge is over, at least for the time being, with dry weather and a lower chance of rain over the next few days.
The Weir Cafe in Sydney Avenue is keeping a watch out for leaping salmon but none have been seen yet.
The business posted on social media that the river is "quite spicy today, no chance of seeing salmon just yet.
"They will be sensible and sit on the bottom. The river path is flooded and therefore closed."
Shrewsbury Town Council posted: "Due to the rise in river levels, Mardol Gardens is currently closed."
The Environment Agency had flood alerts in place for the River Dee catchment in England from Whitchurch to Chester, the Severn Vyrnwy confluence, and the Tern and Perry catchments.
