Course

Pike Run starts at 40°27′19″N 74°39′4″W,[1] near the intersection of Route 206 and Belle Mead-Griggstown Road. The stream does not have a specific source. One source is at the eastern edge of the Sourland Mountains, while another branch passes through the Pike Brook Country Club(now the Mattawang Golf Club)from its origins on the northeastern edge of the Sourlands. Cruser Brook joins it, and it flows south and joins Back Brook and Pine Tree Run. It then crosses River Road and drains into Beden Brook at 40°25′9″N 74°38′22″W.[1]
