Depends on the name. Whatever rolls off the tongue better. Salt crick, Stevens Creek, indian crick, bear Creek. Brooks run clean and clear, we don't have those around here

I'm with loosey. Whatever rolls off the tongue better.
There were 2 that were about 20 miles apart. One was Indian crick. The other was Jacobs creek.
If I'm just talking in generalities it's crick. "I'm going down to the crick."
My wife everything is creek.
But she also pronounces the hard "G" on the end of words. You going huntinG? You going fishinG? You going trappinG?

I live on Town Creek road but I trap in the crick. Fall Creek is a small town near by and the school sports teams are the crickets, not the creekets!

A creek is started by a spring and runs clean and clear. A crick is started by a cow and is usually dry unless there's a downpour. ^^^^^^^^^^ This !!! But, hereabouts............they're ALL started by a cow and therefore............... crick. Think about this, too.............. When a situation is hopeless and there's just NO WAY you're gonna have a good outcome.......... are you up - Creek without a paddle ???? Are you up - Brook without a paddle ??? I rest my case.

Crick. Creek is what rusty door hinges do. That would be Creak A small stream in these parts is a Creek. And I agree with the above. Never heard of someone up a brook without a paddle.

This thread is funny. I use both. I'm almost certain there's no formal definition between crick and creek as far as running water goes. The correct answer is, Yes.

I believe if I asked a farmer here if I could trap his crick he would slap me backwards.
What ya'll call a crick or a brook we call a ditch. Only has water in it when it rains
Something that actually flows is a creek!!
Gotta live up to the nickname...
