The creek is fed by several tributaries, including the Red Clay Creek, which contributes to the flow during the rainy season. The streamgauge also monitors the flow rate in the headwaters of the creek, where there are several dams that can impact the flow downstream. Seasonal trends show that the flow is highest in the spring and lowest in the summer, with occasional flooding during heavy rain events. Interesting facts about the hydrology include the presence of several historic mills along the creek, which were powered by the water flow, and the use of the creek for recreational activities such as kayaking and fishing.
