Honey Run Falls
A roughly 25-foot waterfall over Blackhand sandstone in Knox County, reached by a short trail from the parking area, with part of the walkway paved and accessible. The site protects a rare disjunct boreal plant community.
Before you go
Waterfalls are hazardous by nature — wet rock, cold water, and unstable edges — and flow varies enormously with season and recent rain. Trail figures here describe the route as documented, not conditions today. Check Knox County Park District for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Honey Run Falls drops about 25 feet. That makes it the 595th-tallest documented waterfall in this inventory, taller than roughly 16% of the falls listed here. Height comes from published land-manager and survey records, not from our own measurement.
The Honey Run Waterfall Trail reaches it about 0.4 miles (out-and-back), rated easy. The nearest town is Howard. That describes the route as documented, not conditions on the day — check with Knox County Park District for closures and current conditions.
Spring; winter for ice formations. Waterfall flow swings enormously with snowmelt and recent rain, so a fall that roars in spring can be a trickle by late summer.
