Robinsons Branch Rahway River is a tributary of the Rahway River in Union and Middlesex Counties, New Jersey, U.S.
The headwaters of Robinson Branch are in Fanwood, Plainfield[1] and Edison[2] New Jersey. It flows through Scotch Plains and Westfield, Clark, and Rahway, emptying into the Rahway River approximately five miles above the Arthur Kill.[3] the drainage area is 21.6 square miles,[4] mainly in Union County.[1] The river is impounded at Middlesex Reservoir and Milton Lake, and tidal to Milton Lake Dam. At the confluence of Pumpkin Patch Brook with Robinsons Branch flooding is a frequent problem, exacerbated by densely developed land.[2] Flooding is both fluvial and tidal.[5]
