The creek is a tributary to the Elk River and is fed by several smaller streams. There are no dams on the main stem, but there are several on tributaries upstream. The creek experiences seasonal trends with the highest flows occurring in the spring due to snowmelt and heavy rain. In the summer, flows decrease and water temperatures increase, leading to increased algae growth. Interesting facts about the hydrology of the creek include the presence of several endangered species, including the Ozark hellbender, and the creek's importance as a source of drinking water for nearby communities.
