The Kokosing State Scenic River maintains its natural quality as it winds through mostly wooded and rural portions of Knox and Coshocton counties in Central Ohio. Beginning in Mount Vernon, this water trail includes long deep pools, riffles, short rapids, and scenic sandstone cliffs. Opportunities abound for wildlife viewing, fishing, and hunting. destination as a state scenic river and proximity to the Kokosing Gap Trail make this Ohio Water Trail an ideal paddle/pedal destination.

We'll stop 1/3 of the way through the trip and visit Honey Run Falls, It is the centerpiece of the Honey Run Waterfall Park. The falls is just a few hundred feet from where Honey Run empties into the Kokosing River. The falls become public in 2007, and in 2009 the park was expanded to include the gorge downstream of the falls. Trails lead to the falls and through the gorge down to the river.

Honey Run is a very short creek. This waterfall can get very thin in drier weather. Like many waterfalls, it is best seen in the Spring.

The falls is listed as being 25 feet high, but it appeared considerably shorter to me. The main drop was at most 15 feet high, with some additional cascades above and below adding a few more feet.

From there you'll paddle down through the caves area to the flats where you're bound to see eagles soaring overhead.

Total length of this paddle is slightly over 13 miles, and will take approximately 4-5 hours.
