Pike Run, also known as North Pike Run, is a tributary of Beden Brook in Somerset County, New Jersey in the United States. It is the namesake for the nearby residential development of Pike Run in Belle Mead, New Jersey.
A tributary or affluent is a stream or river that flows into a larger stream or main stem river or a lake. A tributary does not flow directly into a sea or ocean. Tributaries and the main stem river drain the surrounding drainage basin of its surface water and groundwater, leading the water out into an ocean.
Beden Brook, also Bedens Brook, Beden's Brook, or Beeden's Brook, is a tributary of the Millstone River in central New Jersey in the United States.
