Pascack Brook, Tributary in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States.
Pascack Brook is a tributary in Bergen County, New Jersey, that flows through the Pascack Valley and supplies water to several bodies including the Woodcliff Lake Reservoir and Mill Pond in Park Ridge. The waterway winds through the region, passing multiple communities along its course.
Late 18th century maps labeled this waterway as the Great Pascack River, with its tributary Musquapsink Brook called Little Pascack River. These water courses shaped settlement patterns and regional development from early colonial times.
The brook establishes the Pascack Valley region and connects multiple communities through its path, supporting local recreational activities and environmental preservation.
The brook is most accessible during drier months when water levels are lower and banks are easier to navigate. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and exercise caution on slippery surfaces, especially after rainfall.
The waterway now feeds into the Oradell Reservoir before it can reach its historical meeting point with the Hackensack River. This rerouting through the reservoir altered the flow dynamics and ecology of the entire system.
