Iron Springs geyser emanates from the creek and is one of the Manitou Mineral Springs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Iron Springs Geyser )〕 ==Ruxton Creek Watershed== Ruxton Creek is located in the Arkansas River Watershed on the south slope of Pikes Peak. It is fed by the following bodies of water, which supply water for the Colorado Springs region and are also used by the Ruxton and Manitou hydroelectric plants to create electricity for the Pikes Peak region.〔 The two plants combined can generate six megawatts of electricity.〔 Lake Moraine reservoir was completed in 1891 and has a 431,000,000 gallon capacity. Big Tooth Reservoir was completed in 1929 and holds up to 90,300,000 gallons.
