The creek is a tributary of the Carson River, which is the primary source of water for the area. Seasonally, the flow of the creek is influenced by snowmelt from the nearby Sierra Nevada Mountains, resulting in peak flow in late spring and early summer. There are no major dams on the creek, but there are small diversion structures for irrigation purposes. Interestingly, the creek is home to the Lahontan cutthroat trout, a species that has been restored in the area after near-extinction.
