This stream receives water from several tributaries, including Little Buffalo Creek and Big Buffalo Creek. There are no dams on this stream. The flow is generally low in the summer and high in the winter due to seasonal precipitation patterns. Interestingly, the stream's flow is heavily influenced by the hydrogeology of the area, which is characterized by fractured bedrock and karst topography. This means that water can easily flow through cracks and crevices in the rock, leading to rapid changes in flow during storms. The South Buffalo Creek provides important habitat for fish and other aquatic species.
