Great Ditch starts at 40°23′5″N 74°28′57″W,[1] 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[1] 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 passes through the swamp.
