Gauge Description:
There is a painted gauge on on one of the piers of the bridge over Lawsons Fork at East Main St. in Spartanburg. There is a tire store at the bridge, and you can see the gauge from the edge of their parking lot.
Normally Lawson Fork is up real fast after rains and drains out pretty fast as well.
The USGS gauge for Lawsons Fork Creek in Inman is so far upstream I doubt that it helps much for this section. However, the Friends of Lawson's Fork Creek site says that 8 - 20 cfs on the Inman gauge is good. I will certainly defer to their knowledge on that.
Use great caution in navigating the Lawson's Fork after a rain. Strong currents can sweep your boat under fallen trees and pin you under water. In contrast, at low levels, the river is generally still navigable below Glendale.
