It flows north from Woodbridge Township into Clark Township. At its mouth into Robinson's Branch there is a wetlands. It is frequently inundated by backflow from Robinson's Branch; generally only "relatively moderate" flooding is seen along this brook.

Suburban development in both townships has increased surface water run-off over impervious land with "over the bank" flooding along the brook.
