The main constituents of the creek are snowmelt and rainfall, which cause the flow to vary throughout the year. Several tributaries, including West Cherry Creek, are monitored for their impact on the main flow. The stream gauge also tracks the effects of Cherry Creek Dam, which regulates the water flow. Seasonally, the creek experiences the highest flow during spring, while the lowest flow occurs during winter. Interestingly, Cherry Creek has been known to freeze over during the winter months, leading to unique winter recreational activities like ice skating.
