Description
Dan Mirolli: Things happen fast on this creek. While it's not really steep, it's very continuous with more broaching and pinning spots than most creeks I've been on. At a low level (under a foot) it's a blast, and still moves really fast, but the holes aren't as bad and the crazy cross currents are managable. Approaching a foot this creek gets pretty difficult. I think more difficult than some of the steeper creeks I've run. Strainers are a big problem on this creek so please look it over carefully before attempting it. There are many places that look like a simple wave train but that have concealed trees. There's also a very bad rock sieve that is just under the water at about 6-9 inches. Sometimes called called Big Stoney or Stoney Creek. See Also: _Classic Virginia Rivers,_ Ed Grove (1992 ed), p. 292. _Virginia Whitewater_, Roger Corbett (2000 ed.), p. 443.
