Black River is a freestone river in South Carolina.
Pick one of its USGS gauges and hear from us when the flow moves into or out of its usual range for the date, or crosses a flow you set. We check the public USGS reading every 2 hours and email only when it crosses, at most once every 6 hours. Flow alone is not a fishing forecast or a safety call.
Signed in: one step. Otherwise we email a confirmation link first. Every alert has one-click links to stop it.
Start from the agency's public access map. Nothing on this page grants or implies access: check the agency map, posted signs and landowner permission before you fish.

A water page organises discovery. It does not assert public access, legal access, current fish presence, guide availability or fishing conditions.
Flows, gauge statistics and flood stages come from USGS and the National Weather Service when the page is shown.

Normal for Nov 5: 60–354 ft³/s (middle half of 97 years of record). Now: 12.9 ft³/s, much below normal.
Much below normal for this date. 12.9 ft³/s is below the 10th percentile of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 97 years of record: 10th 21.4, 25th 60, median 142, 75th 354, 90th 1,002 ft³/s.

Steady over 24 hours (−4.4% discharge). 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.

Steady over 24 hours (gauge height −0.13 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.
NWS observed 18.6 ft stage at Nov 5, 5:00 PM EST (NWS gauge ADRS1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS has not set flood categories for this gauge.

Falling over 24 hours: gauge height down 0.52 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.
NWS observed 15.9 ft stage at Nov 5, 5:15 PM EST (NWS gauge BDBS1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS has not set flood categories for this gauge.
Graphical forecasts are not available during times of high water, forecast crest information can be found in the local WFO web page.

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.
This gauge is on our page for Black River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
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.

Checked Nov 5, 6:18 PM EST; readings refresh at most every 15 minutes and statistics daily. Provisional USGS data can be revised. Conditions change: re-check before you go. This is general guidance, not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access.
