A brook is a small stream of water. A creek is a stream intermediate in size. A river is large stream. Holyoke has one river – the Connecticut River. It has no creeks but does have many brooks. [A creek is deep enough to float a boat and wide enough that you cannot jump across it but they are hard to navigate since they are often blocked by fallen trees.]
