The creek is fed by several tributaries, including Cross Creek and West Lake Creek. The seasonal trends in water flow show peak levels in May and June due to snowmelt, while low levels are typically observed in the fall and winter. The hydrology of this area is impacted by several dams, including the Homestake Reservoir, which diverts water to the Front Range. One interesting fact about Lake Creek is that it is popular for fly fishing and is home to several species of trout, including rainbow and brown trout.
