Dwars Kill

The Dwars Kill (also known as Dwarskill or Dwarskill Creek) is a tributary of the Hackensack River (Oradell Reservoir) in Bergen County, New Jersey, in the United States.[1]

The name is taken from the Dutch language and can be translated as Cross Creek,[2] which may have been inspired by its generally westerly direction as it traverses today's towns of Alpine, Closter and Norwood to the south-flowing main river.
