River Description

The Stoney is a pleasant little technical stream with some fairly complex rapids scattered through the run especially towards the end. Just before it dumps you into the meat of the N Br. Potomac, Kitzmiller Section, kinda like a version of the Middle Fork / Tygart run. Note that while the run on the Stony is 6.4 miles long, the entire run out on the NB Potomac is 15 miles.
