I'm from southern Alabama, and we say "creek".

In the desert land I come from:

less than 1 ft wide: stream
greater than 1ft wide: river

Creek, if it's really small. A stream is larger, followed by a river.

If it's a constant moving body of water less wide than a river, I call it a creek. If it comes and goes depending on rain levels and such, I call it a stream regardless of size.
