Diamond Brook viewed from Rock Rd in Glen Rock

Diamond Brook is a tributary of the Passaic River which flows south through a section of Bergen County in New Jersey. Heading up the brook from the Passaic River, one encounters the towns of Fair Lawn, Glen Rock and Ridgewood.

Diamond Brook passes through a largely residential suburban setting, though its southern end runs under an industrial complex in Fair Lawn before terminating at the Passaic River. The head of Diamond Brook is located south of Godwin Ave in Ridgewood, near the border of Midland Park. Diamond Brook is considered part of the Goffle Brook drainage basin, but it has no junctions with Goffle Brook and is partly separated from it by another brook, Stevenson Brook, which flows south to the Passaic River between Goffle Brook and Diamond Brook in Hawthorne. (Stevenson Brook also shares no junction points with Diamond Brook.)

Another brook east of Diamond Brook, Little Diamond Brook, is considered to be in part of the same drainage basin as Diamond Brook. Both Little Diamond Brook and Diamond Brook terminate at the Passaic River in proximity to one other.
