Crab Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of Washington. Named for the presence of crayfish, it is one of the few perennial streams in the Columbia Basin of central Washington, flowing from the northeastern Columbia River Plateau, roughly 5 km east of Reardan, west-southwest to empty into the Columbia River near the small town of Beverly. Its course exhibits many examples of the erosive powers of extremely large glacial Missoula Floods of the late Pleistocene, which scoured the region. In addition, Crab Creek and its region have been transformed by the large-scale irrigation of the Bureau of Reclamation's Columbia Basin Project , which has raised water table levels, significantly extending the length of Crab Creek and created new lakes and streams.
Crab Creek is 163 miles long and drains a watershed in eastern Washington of 5,097 square miles . It is sometimes referred to as the "longest ephemeral stream in North America".
