Shek Kong Stream is a concrete-lined watercourse at the uppermost section. Both banks of the remaining watercourse are lined with gabions. The waterbody and the riparian zone of this watercourse are largely overgrown by grass and herbs, while the gabion walls are largely covered by grass and climbers. The lower section of watercourse close to the villages is overgrown by herbaceous vegetation.
