The primary source of flow for the creek is from groundwater, with limited contributions from precipitation. Seasonal trends show that flow rates are highest during spring and summer due to increased precipitation and snowmelt. There are no major dams along the creek, but there are several small dams that are used for recreational purposes. Eagle Creek Reservoir, located upstream, is a significant source of water for the city of Indianapolis. Quirky facts about the hydrology include the presence of rare mussel species in the creek and the historical use of the creek by Native American tribes for fishing and transportation.
