The watershed is fed by several major tributaries, including the Kishwaukee River, Squaw Creek, and Nippersink Creek South Branch. There are several dams that can affect flow rates, including the Wonder Lake Dam and the Pistakee Lake Dam. Seasonal trends show that flow rates are highest in the spring and lowest in the late summer and early fall. Interestingly, the Nippersink Creek watershed is known for its rare plant and animal species, including the western chorus frog and the Blanding's turtle.
