Generally, a property line is often the center of the creek. It depends on your deed description and your state laws. Some states provide that a property that abuts a waterway runs to its center. Some older deed descriptions rune to the center of a brook and some specifically run to its bank, leaving the brook on the land of the abutter. There is no universal rule about "how close a property line can be" to a creek.

If you want to know how close to a creek you can build you need to check your state wetland protection laws. Waterways are generally protected by buffer zones of 100-200 feet. You can get an answer from your town conservation commission.
