Honey Run splashes like gossamer threads of satin as it plunges 20 to 25 feet while fulfilling its duties as a tributary to the Kokosing River in Eastern Knox County.
The rock formation over which it tumbles is Blackhand sandstone formed some 350 million years ago.
This visual gem, unique as the only waterfall in the county, is in a small grotto just southeast of Millwood. The falls is contained within two acres recently acquired by the Knox County Park District.
Park district officials like to think of the area as a mini-Hocking Hills with the rock formations and plant species which include hemlock, witch hazel, partridge berry and a variety of wild flowers.
The site is not yet officially open to the public but access is not restricted.
It certainly should be restricted to the Neanderthals who have left various samples of trash in this pristine blessing of Mother Nature.
