The creek is a tributary of the Black Warrior River and is mainly fed by rainfall and runoff from surrounding areas. There are no major dams or tributaries that significantly affect the flow of the creek. Seasonal trends show that the creek experiences higher flows during the rainy season, which typically occurs from December to March. However, during the summer months, the creek may dry up completely in some areas due to lower rainfall. One quirky fact about Five Mile Creek is that it is home to several species of fish, including the blacktail shiner and the creek chub.
