Honey Run Waterfall — Attraction in Butler Township

Great opportunity to seek wildlife, enjoy a nature, hike, and see the falls.

Honey Run offers multiple trails, all ranging from a half mile and up. Trials are marked well, relatively easy to traverse, but are deep enough in the woods, that it provides you a great chance to touch base with nature.

The Kokosing River offers soothing sounds, and calming views, as many of the trails border its edge, with the main attraction being that of the falls. Signs warn against an attempt to swim within the river, and its under currents, one that's been known to claim lives before.

There's plentiful room for parking, and outhouses for restroom use. There are no public, or running water facilities, but what is there is readily available for use by the parking lots and have good upkeep.

Area in general surprisingly had a pretty good crowd of visitors. There were a decent amount of individuals using the trails and enjoying the falls.

Pretty incredible falls for such a random and off beat area.

Recommended for a day of nice views, and peaceful walks...

The Falls are easy to hike to from the parking area (.2 miles)-very pretty to just sit and enjoy nature. I can see it being crowded on a nice day. Watch for Amish buggies on the curvy roads!!

NOTE: If you plan to hike the other part of the park, be aware that the trails appear marked, but they are NOT!! Trails actually are not well marked at all!! Trails merge into another trail or just all together disappear and stop. We were lost for over an hour and a half and ended up locating at AEP Access Road and walked it to the main road 62, which is very dangerous with no sides and vehicles flying around the corners. Thankfully, Pastor Dave Jones from Millwood Church of Christ gave us a ride back to the parking lot. Pastor Jones advised that we were not the first, nor would we be the last to wander across his parking lot lost!! Knox County parks will need to do better on signs and connecting...

Out & back, unpaved trail. Short walk (maybe .2 miles) to the waterfall. You can choose to walk down the steps and around for an easier time. Or, walk directly in front of you to the waterfall. If you go down the steps, you can continue forward on the unpaved trail and it will take you through the woods (easily accessible/path cleared), over a bridge and to a dead end at the water. I’ve visited during the day and later in the evening—the evening (~7pm+) is far less crowded. With parking, there are 2 lots. Almost directly across from each other. The parking lot next to the waterfall trail head is paved, the other is not. Both have porta potties. There is also another trail head located next to the unpaved parking lot—this does not go to the waterfall. If you’re looking for a quick adventure in nature, this could...
