Is it legal to use hydro electricity power from a creek running through your property?

No, if you have sufficient flow to generate hydroelectric power go for it.
HOWEVER - whatever kind of electrical system you install to harness the power, it can be for YOUR USE ONLY - you may not sell it or 'give' it away - and you cannot have ANY inter-connection whatsoever between your personal power lines and the commercial power lines.
Excess Hydro, wind or solar power can be sold to electricity companies, providing it is in a compatible form.

Have a creek that runs through your property that has been water for our livestock for years now the people down stream are blocking it off and our creek is dry can we do anything about this?
Unfortunately, no. The creek for your neighbors down stream runs through their property and they have every right to do what they want with it. You are going to have to dig a well to get water to your livestock, even though it will cost a bit to do, depending on where you live and how for down you have to drill for water. Unless you can find out why they blocked the creek off and negotiate with them to have it flowing again.

How close to a creek can your property line be?
Generally, a property line is often the center of the creek. It depends on your deed description and your state laws. Some states provide that a property that abuts a waterway runs to its center. Some older deed descriptions rune to the center of a brook and some specifically run to its bank, leaving the brook on the land of the abutter. There is no universal rule about "how close a property line can be" to a creek. If you want to know how close to a creek you can build you need to check your state wetland protection laws. Waterways are generally protected by buffer zones of 100-200 feet. You can get an answer from your town conservation commission.
