Third River (New Jersey)

The Third River is the third main tributary of the Passaic River in the northern portion of the U.S. state of New Jersey.

The Third River runs through Bloomfield including the ground of the North Middle School where it forms Clarks Pond which is used by the school's science classes to help teach biology. It then passes through Brookside Park which was the location of a mill in colonial days. It also passes next to Foley Field which is used by the Bloomfield High School football team and the town's little league baseball teams. The river then runs through multiple parks in the town of Nutley in Essex County.
