The creek is not impacted by any significant dams. The flow of the creek varies seasonally, with high water levels in the spring due to snowmelt and heavy rainfall, and low water levels in the late summer and fall. One interesting fact about the hydrology of the Locust Creek is that it has been designated as a "critical habitat" for endangered species, including the Topeka shiner fish.
