Little Bear Brook is a small stream, also known as a tributary, located in Mercer County, New Jersey, in the United States. It plays a part in the larger Raritan River system by flowing into the Millstone River. Eventually, its water travels all the way to the Atlantic Ocean.
Where Little Bear Brook Flows
