whole run at low water. At the drop there appears to be a left and right line. The left looks more
fun but the main flow below the drop points directly to a large undercut rock. If the levels were 3
or 4 feet higher it would appear to be a solid rock. I will include a picture or two of the drop
and then the rock.

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.
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
