Stony River (North Branch Potomac River)

Stony River (North Branch Potomac River)

Stony River is a tributary of the North Branch Potomac River in Grant County in West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle. Stony River joins with the North Branch at the Mineral County border. Its source lies north of Dolly Sods Wilderness on the Tucker County border in the Allegheny Front.

Near its source, Stony River is dammed by the Stony River Dam to create Stony River Reservoir between Cabin Mountain 4,377 feet (1334 m) and Fore Knobs 2,733 feet (833 m). Further north, the Stony River is dammed again to form the 1,200 acre (4.8 km²) Mount Storm Lake.
