The creek is a small tributary of the Missouri River and its flow is influenced by precipitation, snowmelt, and groundwater. There are no major dams or tributaries that significantly impact the flow of the creek. Seasonally, the creek experiences higher flows during the spring due to snowmelt and precipitation, while flows are lower in the summer and fall. Interestingly, Ponca Creek was once a popular destination for gold prospectors during the 19th century, but no significant gold deposits were ever found. Today, the creek is primarily used for recreational activities such as fishing and kayaking.
