The South Branch Rancocas Creek, or Lumberton Branch is a 21.7-mile-long tributary of Rancocas Creek in Burlington County, New Jersey in the United States.
The South Branch Rancocas Creek drains an area of 144 square miles. Much of the upland agriculture within the Rancocas Creek basin lies inside the South Branch Rancocas Creek basin. It is among the least developed parts of the Rancocas Creek watershed.
The South Branch is tidal to a point between the mouth of the Southwest Branch Rancocas Creek and Eayrestown. The head of navigation on the creek was Lumberton. By the late nineteenth century, steamboat navigation generally ended at Cooks Landing, near Hainesport, New Jersey, with light sailing vessels and barges occasionally venturing upstream to the vicinity of Lumberton to deliver agricultural lime. From Hainesport to the mouth of the creek, sand and gravel mining generated barge traffic through the early twentieth century.

Rancocas Woods is an unincorporated community located within Mount Laurel Township in Burlington County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.
The community was developed on the site of an amusement park. Houses in Rancocas Woods were first built in the 1930s. There were problems with the community when first developed. No sewers were installed, because of limited drainage, which caused floods to occur during heavy rainstorms. The water pressure from fire hydrants was unsubstantial—the volunteer fire department had to pump its water from the nearby Rancocas Creek.
On July 11, 2018 the Mount Laurel Zoning Board voted to allow a section of commercial property to be zoned residential to allow the building of an apartment rental complex. This developer proposal will bring sewer and fire hydrants to this area, but will change the makeup of the shops at so-called Main Street Mount Laurel. The proposal was met with public backlash.
