The creek is a tributary of the Conewago Creek and is fed by several smaller streams. The hydrology of the West Conewago Creek is affected by seasonal trends, with higher flows in the spring and after heavy rainfall. There are no major dams on the creek, but there are a few smaller ones. The creek is home to a variety of fish species, including smallmouth bass and trout. The West Conewago Creek is also used for recreational activities such as fishing and kayaking. Interesting fact: The creek is named after the Conewago Indians who once lived in the area.
