The flow of the creek is primarily provided by snowmelt and rainfall, with an average annual flow of 52 cubic feet per second. The creek has several potential tributaries, including Latah Creek and Rock Creek, as well as several dams that may affect its flow. Seasonally, the creek experiences low flow in the summer months and high flow in the spring due to snowmelt. Interestingly, the creek is named after a local legend about a man who was hanged on a nearby tree and left to rot, with his body eventually falling into the creek. Despite its dark history, Hangman Creek remains an important part of the Spokane community.
