The stream has several smaller tributaries, such as Coal Creek and Deer Creek, which can impact its flow. The creek experiences seasonal fluctuations, with peak flows typically occurring in the spring and fall. There are no major dams along the creek, but there are several smaller ones used for irrigation and water control. Interestingly, the Big Walnut Creek is known for its high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus, which can lead to harmful algal blooms and other water quality issues.
