Big Timber Creek
River in New Jersey, United States
About
Big Timber Creek is a 5.6-mile-long (9.0 km) stream in southwestern New Jersey. The creek was called Tetamekanchz Kyl by Lenape tribes prior to European settlement in the area. The creek drains a watershed of 63 square miles (160 km2) and is a tributary of the Delaware River.
Big Timber Creek enters the Delaware River between Brooklawn and Westville, just south of Gloucester City and across from Philadelphia. The main stream and south branch form roughly half of the border between Camden and Gloucester counties.
