I have a question as a WV hillbilly. I hope it doesn’t sound too stupid.

Is a “bayou”, as you call it, what we call a natural creek or is it something man-made?

A bayou is marsh wetland, usually slow moving or still water.

a bayou is basically a swamp.

Bayous are natural and similar to creeks, but they tend to have alligators in them. ;-)

(And bayous are slow-moving.)
