The headwaters of the Nishisackawick begins in forested wetlands in Alexandria Township and it flows through Camp Marudy Lake, past Camp Marudy, and through Everittstown on its way southwest past farms and developed land joins the Delaware at Frenchtown.
The Little Nishisakawick springs from wetlands in Kingwood Township and flows approximately 4 miles southwest through mostly agricultural land gently dropping to the Delaware River.
Nishisackawick is thought to originate from a Unami word — neschi-sakquik, meaning “double outlet or mouth".[3]
