The creek's flow is supplied by snowmelt, precipitation, and groundwater, and is augmented by tributaries including Manitou and Monument creeks. There are no major dams on the Fountain Creek, but it does face challenges from urban development and agriculture. Seasonally, peak flows occur in late spring due to snowmelt, while low flows are common in late summer and early fall. Interesting hydrological features of the creek include its role in creating Garden of the Gods, and its history of flooding, including a devastating flood in 2013.
