The Kokosing Gap Trail is a paved, 14-mile recreational trail built on a former Pennsylvania Railroad line with endpoints in Mount Vernon and Danville, Ohio. 

Visitors will traverse the Kokosing River twice on railroad bridges more than 250 feet long, with forests, wetlands, agriculture and villages along the way. 

The Trail is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It is the largest, paved rail-to-trail park in the United States maintained solely by donations and volunteers.

A view of the waters of Honey Run cascading down 25ft over the surrounding sandstone cliffs on its way to join the Kokosing River. 

There is a parking lot nearby and a short path to the falls. The are other hiking trails in the park that meander through the boreal habitat and along the blackhand sandstone banks of the river.
Kokosing River. Just a quarter mile from Honey Run Falls
Honey Run Park would probably be considered a pocket park by a rural scale.

Honey Run is a park named after a waterfall named after a creek.

Honey Run Falls is a 20 ft tall waterfall that empties into the nearby Kokosing River. The flow over the falls varies greatly throughout the seasons.

The park also has a loop trail located across the road from the falls.
