The creek is primarily fed by precipitation and groundwater, with some minor tributaries contributing to the flow. The streamgauge monitors flows throughout the year, with higher flows typically occurring during the spring months due to increased precipitation and snowmelt. There are no significant dams on the creek in the vicinity of the streamgauge. The hydrology of the creek is relatively typical for a Midwestern waterway, but it is notable that the Sugar Creek was once a popular destination for canoeing and camping, and it remains a popular spot for outdoor recreation today.
