The Heathcote Brook Branch is a small stream, also called a tributary, that flows into a larger stream called Heathcote Brook. You can find it in the southern part of Middlesex County, New Jersey, in the United States. It flows almost side-by-side with Carters Brook, which is another stream that also joins Heathcote Brook.

Its Journey

The Heathcote Brook Branch starts its journey, or its 'source,' near two main roads: Route 1 and Route 27. It flows right through areas where people live, crossing a road called Promenade Boulevard. After that, it goes under Route 1. Finally, it empties into, or 'drains into,' Heathcote Brook.

Getting There

The Heathcote Brook Branch is a small stream and doesn't cross many roads. This makes it a bit tricky to get to directly. However, you can reach it by first finding Heathcote Brook, which is easier to access.
