The Stony Brook starts at [1], just south of Ringoes. It flows south through the Amwell Lake Wildlife Management Area. It flows southeast, flowing parallel to SR-31 while it receives Peters Brook and Woodsville Brook. It receives a tributary from the Sourland Mountain, and crosses Pennington-Hopewell Road. It flows through the Hopewell Valley Country Club and receives the Stony Brook Branch. It then flows between the Bristol-Myers Squibb and the Baldwin State Wildlife Management Area, receiving Baldwins Creek. It then flows through Kunkel Park and receives Lewis Brook. It then turns east, flowing through Old Mill Road County Park and Rosedale Park, where it receives Honey Branch. It then flows through a mountainous area with several large meanders, and turns south near Coventry Farm Park. It flows through Princeton Open Space Acquisition and then crosses Route 206. It then flows parallel to Quaker Road (CR-533) until it reaches the D&R Canal, where it turns northeast. It then receives Duck Pond Run from under the canal, crosses Alexander Street, and drains into the Millstone River at [1], just east of Princeton.
The Stony Brook is a relatively large brook so it has several tributaries.
