Stone Run (also known as Slife Run) is a tributary of Bowman Creek in Wyoming County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately 2.2 miles (3.5 km) long and flows through Noxen Township. The watershed of the stream has an area of 2.43 square miles (6.3 km2). The stream is not designated as an impaired waterbody. The surficial geology in its vicinity consists of alluvium, Wisconsinan Ice-Contact Stratified Drift, Wisconsinan Till, and Wisconsinan Bouldery Till. The stream is classified as Class A Wild Trout Waters and its watershed is designated as a High-Quality Coldwater Fishery and a Migratory Fishery.
Stone Run begins on a plateau in Noxen Township. It flows south-southeast for several tenths of a mile and enters a valley to the north of Stone Mountain before turning east-northeast. After several tenths of a mile, the stream turns southeast before turning east-northeast for a few tenths of a mile and then turning east-southeast. After several tenths of a mile, it turns east-northeast for several hundred feet and reaches its confluence with Bowman Creek.
Stone Run joins Bowman Creek 15.56 miles (25.04 km) upstream of its mouth.
Stone Run is not designated as an impaired waterbody. The concentration of alkalinity in the stream is 9 milligrams per liter (0.0090 oz/cu ft).
The elevation near the mouth of Stone Run is 1,109 feet (338 m) above sea level. The elevation of the stream's source is between 2,200 and 2,220 feet (671 and 677 m) above sea level.
The surficial geology along the lower reaches of Stone Run mainly consists of alluvium, while Wisconsinan Ice-Contact Stratified Drift occurs in the vicinity. However, further upstream, the surficial geology consists of Wisconsinan Till and Wisconsinan Bouldery Till.
The watershed of Stone Run has an area of 2.43 square miles (6.3 km2). The stream is entirely within the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Noxen.
