I grew up calling a quite small creek a “branch”, a larger creek was a “bayou”, then we had rivers.

Now living in Wyoming…..creeks are “cricks”? Rivers are what we in Louisiana called bayous or branches!😁 Rivers are pretty scarce in Wyoming! 😂 memtb

A crick is a distinctly separate entity from a creek, and it should be recognized as such. After all, a creek is merely a creek, but a crick is a crick.

It's all explained here :

If I’m on vacation it’s a crick, otherwise it’s just a creek.

Creek +90% of the time. Crick or branch when appropriate.
