The streamgauge is operated by the U.S. Geological Survey and provides information about the flow rate, water temperature, and other water quality parameters. Sycamore Creek is a tributary of the Verde River and is fed by several smaller tributaries. The flow of water in the creek varies with season, with the highest flows occurring during monsoon season from July to September. The hydrology of Sycamore Creek is also affected by nearby dams and reservoirs, including Horseshoe Dam and Bartlett Reservoir. One quirky fact about the creek is that it is home to several different species of fish, including the endangered spikedace and loach minnow.
