The primary source of flow is snowmelt, which typically peaks in late May or early June. The creek is also fed by several smaller tributaries, including Elk Creek and Mill Creek, and is affected by the diversion of water for irrigation and municipal use. There are no major dams on Cabin Creek, but there are several smaller diversion structures. Interesting facts about the hydrology of the area include the importance of beaver dams in creating wetland habitat and increasing water retention, and the potential for flash floods during heavy rain or rapid snowmelt.
