Stony Creek is a 17.10 mi (27.52 km) long 4th order tributary to the Haw River, in Alamance and Caswell Counties, North Carolina.
Stony Creek rises at Cherry Grove, North Carolina in Caswell County on the divide between Stony Creek and Country Line Creek of the Dan River. The creek then flows south into Alamance County and through two impoundments, Lake Burlington and Stony Creek Reservoir, to meet the Haw River at Hopedale, North Carolina.[2]
