Nine Mile Run, known as 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.
The official source of the Nine Mile Run is at 40°24′51″N 74°32′57″W / 40.41417°N 74.54917°W. 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 flows north from the source through a housing development and intersects Route 27 nine miles from where the highway crosses the Raritan River in New Brunswick, hence its name. The crossing on Route 27 is not easy to find because it has been covered with plants and greenery. However, it may be visible as a pipe on the right side of Route 27 in the area across from Stillwell Road when driving south. It can also be seen diagonal to the intersection between Stillwell Road and Route 27. From Route 27, the Nine Mile Run meanders through a wooded area and crosses Beekman Road. It then crosses Claremont Road and travels through the end of a housing development on Bennington Parkway. Continuing north, the stream encounters another wooded area, part of the land set aside for the Six Mile Run Reservoir Site, and crosses Cortelyous Road under a narrow bridge. It then joins the Six Mile Run east of South Middlebush Road in Franklin Township 40°28′00″N 74°32′13″W / 40.46667°N 74.53694°W.
