Great Ditch is a drainage ditch that drains areas of the Pigeon Swamp State Park in New Jersey in the United States.
Great Ditch starts at 40°23′5″N 74°28′57″W / 40.38472°N 74.48250°W, in the Pigeon Swamp State Park. It flows west, crossing Fresh Ponds Road and Route 130 before joining another stream at 40°23′39″N 74°30′27″W / 40.39417°N 74.50750°W which drains into the Lawrence Brook.
This canal's purpose is to drain sections of the Pigeon Swamp to prevent flooding of Deans Rhode Hall Road, which flows through the swamp.
