Little Stony Creek (New R. trib.)

Eric Oconnell and I attempted to run this creek at a decent flow, but we elected not to hike any further up the trail when we realized how much wood was in the stream bed. Aparently the forest service had cut down all the trees they concidered a safety hazard... they just happened to lay them directly in the stream bed, which means mandatory portage fest. To give you an idea of just how much wood there was, I am a good boater and was able to ramp over and skirt around and under many logs, and I still spent about as much time walking around truely unpassable strainers as I did in my boat. If you are desperate for some boating, there is a pretty fun 100yd section adjacent to the parking lot. Just walk up the creek untill you start seeing strainers, and don't bother walking any further. I don't even know if it is leagal to cut wood out of this section, but it will take allot of work untill this section is worth running again. It's a worthy project if anyone is willing to look into it, but untill then, don't bother.

Peace, Eli
