Honeymoon Falls Out and Back

I forgot to start my GPS at the trailhead, but this is the route. Start your hike at State Park Road. Total elevation gain is roughly 120 ft.

Overview. This was a short little hike to beautiful Honeymoon Falls in Pine Mountain State Resort Park. With dry weather leading up to our hike, the falls were far from peak flow, but are always worth a visit - especially on a hot Summer day where you can grab some of that all natural air conditioning.

Trail navigation. Begin at the Honeymoon Falls trailhead and move uphill along the trail crossing over the stream until reaching the falls. Retrace your steps to return to the trailhead.

Waterfall season. As is true with most waterfalls in Kentucky, they are at their best during waterfall season from mid-Winter through Spring and may be only a trickle during dry season in the Fall.

CAUTION - Poisonous snakes. Timber rattlesnakes and copperheads can be found in the region. Stay alert on the trail, as snakes are commonly found taking in the warmth of the trail. Give them a wide berth or wait for them to move off the trail.

CAUTION - Bears. Black bears are growing in number throughout Eastern Kentucky. Be sure to follow bear safety precautions. [Be Bear Aware by US Forest Service]
