The floods hit the Bright Angel Canyon and Phantom Ranch area on Saturday, the service said, adding that it was working with Arizona authorities to evacuate people and account for missing individuals.
Earlier, the park service said that more than 20 people were believed missing.
There were no confirmed deaths or injuries, the park service said in an email.
The flash flood, which began about 2:30 pm on Saturday, was caused by rainfall on the Kaibab Plateau, it said.
