creek crossing
Shallow water passage
A creek crossing is a place where a road, trail, or path passes over or through a creek.
Some crossings have bridges or culverts; others require fording through shallow water.
The term appears often in rural directions and hiking guides: Turn left after the creek crossing.
It can also name the act itself: The creek crossing soaked my boots.
