It is approximately {{convert|2.6|mi|km}} long and flows through Fishing Creek Township.[1] The watershed of the stream has an area of {{convert|2.22|sqmi|km2}}. The stream itself has two unnamed tributaries and sewage is discharged into it. The exact origin of its name is not known. CourseRickard Hollow begins in a deep valley in Fishing Creek Township, a few hundred feet west of the western edge of Stillwater. It flows southwest for a short distance before turning south-southwest for several tenths of a mile. The stream then turns west for a short distance, receiving an unnamed tributary of passing through a pond. It then turns south-southwest, flowing alongside T-633, which it crosses once. The stream eventually receives another unnamed tributary and enters Greenwood Township and Rohrsburg and continues flowing south-southwest. Eventually, it crosses Rohrsburg Road and turns roughly south. A few tenths of a mile further downstream, it reaches its confluence with Green Creek.[1] Rickard Hollow joins Green Creek {{convert|3.56|mi|km}} upstream of its mouth.[2] TributariesRickard Hollow has no named tributaries. However, it does have two unnamed tributaries.[1] Geography and watershedThe elevation near the mouth of Rickard Hollow is {{convert|636|ft|m}} above sea level.[3] The elevation of the stream's source is between {{convert|1000|ft|m}} and {{convert|1020|ft|m}} above sea level.[1] The stream is close to the Greenwood Valley and to another valley known as Davis Hollow.[4] The Greenwood Township Municipal Authority has a permit to discharge sewage into Rickard Hollow. It is waived by the United States Department of Environmental Protection.[5][6] This is considered to be a minor discharge, with a discharge of only 7500 gallons per day.[7] The watershed of Rickard Hollow has an area of {{convert|2.22|sqmi|km2}}.[2] Both the mouth and the source of the stream are in the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Benton.[8] History and etymologyRickard Hollow was entered into the Geographic Names Information System on August 2, 1979. Its identifier in the Geographic Names Information System is 1185024.[8] The origin of Rickard Hollow's name is unknown. However, it is likely to be named after a local farmer or landowner.[9] See also
