After Jacques Lane it drains into the Six Mile Run at 40°28′23″N 74°33′6″W / 40.47306°N 74.55167°W / 40.47306; -74.55167.^[2]

Cross Brook is a slow-moving stream, although it is not marshy. Some species of fish may be expected to be found in it.

The Cross Brook starts as a lake which drains into grasslands, forming a marshy area around its source. It is still muddy farther downstream. It tends to be a wide, slow, deep stream.

Cross Brook is a short stream, only crossing one road. There are a few trails in the woods that lead to it.
