this is definitely not a class IV-V stream. more like class III with potential for class IV in high
water Edit

About half way down the run, maybe a little further, a tree has fallen into the river in a fairly
unattractive fashion. The tree is on the left side (cutbank) of the longest slide as the creek
bends hard right. It looks to be obstructing the line a bit, but i could be wrong.

Rob Farmer---I did this several years ago, and for me it did not meet the hype in Appalachian
Whitewater, Volume 2. But it was very low when I caught it. There were some man-made hazards/trash
in one spot. I was disappointed. I parked near a bridge at the put-in, next to a water company
pumping station or something, and the police hassled me slightly upon my return in the dark. Well,
he did end up holding my flashlight, but, still, this area is the only area where I seem to get
stopped by the police regularly while engaged in strictly paddling-related activities. When this is
up, the Stony is way-cranking, fer shure. Edit
