Spruce Run is a tributary of the Raritan River in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. It starts from the southwestern slope of Schooley's Mountain, northeast of Anthony in Lebanon Township, and flows southwest toward Glen Gardner.[2] It then flows south toward Clinton, where it joins the South Branch Raritan River. The Mulhockaway Creek is a tributary and flows from Jug Mountain.[3] The southern slopes of the Musconetcong Mountain drain into the Spruce Run.[2]
