The Elkhead Creek is primarily fed by snowmelt from the Elkhead Mountains and has several small tributaries. There are no major dams on the creek that affect its flow. The hydrology of the creek is highly seasonal, with peak flows occurring in late spring and early summer due to snow melt. Interesting facts about this area include the presence of a rare species of fish, the Colorado pikeminnow, and the fact that the Elkhead Mountains were formed by volcanic activity millions of years ago.
