About Lake Blalock

Lake Blalock is a reservoir in South Carolina.

Water level on this page comes from USGS gauge 021556524 (Lake Blalock near Cowpens, SC), about 2 mi from the middle of the lake. Wind, gusts and rain come from the National Weather Service forecast grid that covers the water.

Reservoir levels move with releases and inflow, so ramps and beaches can change week to week. The water level page tracks that day by day.

The go or no-go calls above are a starting point, not a guarantee. Read how we score conditions, and always check local rules and posted warnings before you launch.
