What's the difference between a creek and a stream? Generally, the difference is size: you can step over a brook, jump over a creek, wade across a stream, and swim across a river. But, in the Pacific Northwest, the distinction between these can depend on the season and even the weather. Hikers who know this come prepared accordingly!
