North Oromocto River, 45 kilometres (28 mi) in length, flows east-northeast from Oromocto Lake (near Harvey Station), passing through the villages of Tracy and follows sections of Route 645 and Route 101 to Fredericton Junction.
South Oromocto River, 39 kilometres (24 mi) long, flows north-northeast from South Oromocto Lake, mostly through forest land to the head of the Oromocto River.
