The Crogga River is a river in the Isle of Man.
Crogga River issues close to the Mount Murray Hotel and Country Club and meanders slowly downhill into the lake in front of the hotel (across which the 18th and later the 9th hole used to be played) and then drops to Murray's Lake before becoming the impassable Crogga River Glen on its way down towards Crogga Glen and Port Soderick and its Manx National Glens.
The Crogga River forms, for the greater part of its course, the boundary between not only Braddan and Santon but also the boundary between the Central Valley and the South Island.

The River Dhoo is a river on the Isle of Man. The river rises in Marown and flows east towards Douglas through the central valley of the island, passing Crosby and Union Mills before meeting with the River Glass on the outskirts of Douglas where it flows out to sea through Douglas Harbour. The Dhoo (meaning black or dark in Manx) and the Glass (meaning clear or green) converge to form the River Douglas. It has a length of approx. 6.5Â mi (10.5Â km).
More recent research suggests that the name is one of the oldest place-names in the island and comes from the early Celtic term 'duboglassio’ meaning 'black/dark stream'. This is a common name throughout the British Isles and is Dulas in Wales and Dawlish in England.
