The River Crake is a short river in the English Lake District. The name probably derives from the Celtic languages (most likely Brythonic languages; ie Cumbric language) and means rocky stream. The river drains Coniston Water from its southernmost point and flows for about 6 miles (9.5 km) in a southerly direction before joining the upper estuary of the River Leven at Greenodd. The river is in the historic county of Lancashire, but in an area that formed part of the county Cumbria after the 1974 reorganisation of local government. The Crake is a noted salmon river.

| - River Crake är ett vattendrag i Storbritannien. Det ligger i riksdelen England, i den centrala delen av landet, 400 km nordväst om huvudstaden London. Klimatet i området är tempererat. Årsmedeltemperaturen i trakten är 7 °C. Den varmaste månaden är juli, då medeltemperaturen är 14 °C, och den kallaste är januari, med −2 °C. (sv)
- Der River Crake ist ein 9,5 km langer Fluss im Lake District, Cumbria, England. Der Crake entwässert den See Coniston Water an dessen südlichem Ende und fließt bei in den River Leven kurz vor dessen Mündung in die Morecambe Bay. Im 19. Jahrhundert siedelte sich eine Reihe von Fabriken am Fluss an, die das Wasser nutzten, um Maschinen anzutreiben. So gab es eine Baumwollspinnerei und eine Eisengießerei. Bis in die 1970er Jahre gab es in eine Drechselerei, die hölzerne Spindeln für die Spinnereien in Lancashire herstellte. Heute gibt es keine Überreste der Betriebe am Fluss mehr. (de)

- The River Crake is a short river in the English Lake District. The name probably derives from the Celtic languages (most likely Brythonic languages; ie Cumbric language) and means rocky stream. The river drains Coniston Water from its southernmost point and flows for about 6 miles (9.5 km) in a southerly direction before joining the upper estuary of the River Leven at Greenodd. The river is in the historic county of Lancashire, but in an area that formed part of the county Cumbria after the 1974 reorganisation of local government. The villages of , Blawith, Lowick Bridge, Spark Bridge and Penny Bridge are located close to the river in the Crake Valley. As well as receiving the outflow from Coniston the river also drains Beacon Tarn in the above the southern end of Coniston. In the 19th century numerous industries including a cotton mill and iron foundry flourished along the river, making use of the fast flowing water to drive machinery. A bobbin mill at Spark Bridge, which manufactured wooden bobbins for the Lancashire cotton industry, used water-powered lathes to turn the wood. The factory survived into the 1970s using Gilkes water turbines to generate electricity and turn the lathes. The factory was eventually forced to close by the punitive water usage charges levied by the North West Water Authority. Today there are no obvious signs of any of the riverside industries. The Crake is a noted salmon river. The River Crake is the model for the Amazon River in Arthur Ransome’s Swallows and Amazons series of children's novels according to Hugh Brogan, although the Crake flows out of Coniston Water but the Amazon flows into the Lake. The Allan Tarn at the beginning of the river became the Octopus Lagoon.
