The creek flows through the Piceance Basin and eventually joins the White River. There are no major dams on the creek but there are several small diversion structures used for irrigation. The flow of Piceance Creek is highly seasonal with the highest flows occurring in late spring and early summer due to snowmelt. Interestingly, the creek has been impacted by oil and gas development in the area, leading to concerns about water quality. Despite these challenges, the Piceance Creek is an important source of water for agriculture and wildlife in the region.
