Stony Creek (Mohawk River tributary)

Stony Creek is a tributary of the Mohawk River in New York State, United States. It is located in the southern Adirondack region, primarily within Fulton County. The creek flows generally southward, eventually emptying into the Mohawk River near the village of St. Johnsville.

The watershed of Stony Creek is largely forested, with areas of wetlands and some agricultural land. The creek is known for its rocky streambed and relatively steep gradient, contributing to its name. It is a popular spot for fishing, particularly for trout, and other recreational activities such as hiking and nature observation.

The creek's water quality can be affected by factors such as runoff from roads and agricultural areas. Conservation efforts are aimed at protecting the creek's water quality and preserving its natural habitat. The creek also plays a role in the local ecosystem, providing habitat for a variety of plant and animal species.
