Map of USGS gauge 02169750 and the river around it
Where CONGAREE RIVER AT U.S. HWY 601 NR. FORT MOTTE, SC sits, with 3 other gauges on the same river.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines South Carolina DNR uses are 62°F and 70°F.
for this gauge.
USGS publishes no daily statistics for this gauge, so the reading is not compared with the record.
Steady over 24 hours (gauge height −0.11 ft). Rising or falling means a change of more than 10% in discharge (or 0.2 ft of gauge height) over 24 hours; our rule of thumb, not a USGS class.
Turn Around Don't Drown. “A mere 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult.” No flow number makes a crossing safe; if in doubt, stay out.
