Nine Mile Run

The Nine Mile Run, known as the Ninemile Run according to the USGS GNIS, is a moderately large tributary of the Six Mile Run, one of the branches of the Millstone River, in central New Jersey in the United States.It is found between Sand Hill Rd and Old Beekman Rd in Kendall Park, South Brunswick. Another more visible source, although it is not the official source, is a long narrow marsh beside Sand Hills Road across from the intersection of Stillwell Road and Sand Hills Road.

 

The stream is home to tadpoles and several varieties of small fish. It is shallow in many areas, too shallow for large fish to live in. There are occasional deep pools that bigger fish live in.The stream is easy in most places to walk through, though the rocks are slippery from underwater plants.The stream has varying terrain. Upstream, it is a fast flowing small stream with a generally rocky streambed. By Beekman Road, it slows down while still retaining a rocky bottom.
