Jacobs Creek (New Jersey)

About

Jacobs Creek is a tributary of the Delaware River in Mercer County in the U.S. state of New Jersey. From its headwaters in Hopewell Township, the creek flows generally south and southwest. Along the creek's lower course, it flows along the border between Hopewell Township and Ewing Township, entering the Delaware River between Lambertville and Trenton.

Arising along the west flank of Pennington Mountain, elevation 381 feet (116 m), Jacobs Creek flows under Poor Farm Road, through Woosamonsa Ridge Preserve and under Woosamonsa Road before reaching Pennington-Harbourton Road (County Route 623). Further downstream, it passes under Pennington-Titusville Road and then Washington Crossing-Pennington Road (CR 546). After receiving Woolsey Brook from the left, Jacobs Creek flows roughly parallel to Jacobs Creek Road (CR 637), which is on the left bank, and passes under Bear Farm Road (CR 579). The creek turns southwest as it reaches the boundary between Hopewell Township and Ewing Township and follows this boundary, crossing it several times before passing under River Road (New Jersey Route 29), the Delaware and Raritan Canal and its towpath and entering the Delaware River.
