Lockatong Creek is a 15.6-mile-long (25.1 km)[2] tributary of the Delaware River in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, United States. Its source is near Quakertown in Franklin Township. It flows into the Delaware River via an overflow spillway after entering the feeder canal of the Delaware and Raritan Canal in Delaware Township, midway between Raven Rock and Stockton.[1]

Lockatong is derived of a Munsee phrase — lokatink, or “place of wheat meal".[3]
