Is it a CRICK or a CREEK? Welcome to Fish Creek, Wisconsin!

By

Welcome to Fish Creek, Wisconsin!  Which brings me to the question of the day....which form is the correct way to say it? 

 

Fish CREEK, or FISH CRICK?

 

A decade ago, you could have told a "local" local by the way they pronounced this little unincorporated area in the Town of Gibraltar.  No more!  As many people that are visitors have now come often enough that it is "Fish CRICK" to them now and forevermore.

 

At my office, we DO say Fish CREEK (not CRICK) because it can confuse some people to death!  And throw in the fact that you are really and truly in "the Town of Gibraltar" just totally clouds the issue.  My husband was born in Door County and says "Fish CREEK".

 

The fact of the matter is, whether it's a "crick" or a "creek" to you is immaterial.  Fish Creek is a gorgeous community on the Bay in which to work, live or visit.

I'm from Wisconsin and it's Fish Creek however, the tiny stream of water in your backyard is a Crik.

Chris and Dick:  the problem is that is IS a tiny stream of water in some places, especially over the past few years.  Come up!  I'd love to show you around.  Northern Door County is a ton of fun, but several of our agents work in Naples in the winter, too.
