Description

Stony brook is a small steep stream located in southern NH. If you are thinking of getting into steep creaking then try Stony brook as one of your first excursions. The two toughest drops, Broken dam and Funnel ledge, can easily be portaged. Stony brook has many 2 and 3 foot ledge drops in a small river channel. It is a very short run that can be done over several times. Most of the drops are located out of sight from Rt 31 which parallels the stream. Stony Brook is a popular trout fishing stream in the Spring so look out for dangling fishing hooks from the low branches especially on the lower parts of the stream.
