Raccoon Creek is a 22.6-mile-long (36.4 km)[1] tributary of the Delaware River in Gloucester County, New Jersey.
The South Branch (of the creek) joins it about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) east of the town.
The creek turns north again and meanders through the marshlands, passing under the (fixed) Interstate 295 bridge and running along the west side of the Pureland Industrial Complex, one of the largest industrial parks in the United States.
A tangle of marshy channels leads to the west side of Bridgeport, where the creek passes under moveable spans of the Conrail's Penns Grove Secondary[3] and U.S. Route 130.
It empties into the Delaware River just south of the Commodore Barry Bridge where it crosses Raccoon Island, (now connected to the mainland by fill).
