This is a big water gem so much closer than the Gauley or the New, and constant. There are really zero flat sections the entire way. At some points, I was honestly worried but everything was great! Stony River releases without any warning, so we were lucky to see the change on the gauge and catch it. There was a LOT of in-play wood on the Stony, so be wary if you attempt this run.
