About Honeyman Falls
Honeyman Falls is a small waterfall located just outside Lillooet, British Columbia (approx. 2.8 miles / 4.5 km from the town center). The falls are reported at coordinates 50.7352, -121.9406. Resources on this feature are scarce, so details vary by report; flow appears seasonal (peak in spring and early summer from snowmelt) and the falls are set in a steep, rocky canyon typical of the Lillooet area. Exact height and official name usage may vary in local sources.
Why This Waterfall Exists
Honeyman Falls flows over Ladner Group, a layered sedimentary rock layer deposited about 168-201 million years ago. Over time, the stream has worn through these layers at different rates, creating the step that forms the waterfall.

Seasonal Access
The best time to visit is Spring, Summer, and Fall. Winter access may be limited. Check with the managing park or local authority for current conditions.
Safety Information
Expect unstable, slippery rock near the falls and steep drop-offs. Flashy creek flows after heavy rain or sudden snowmelt can increase hazard. Cell coverage may be limited; emergency response could be delayed. Use caution on unmaintained roads (washouts, loose gravel) and consult local authorities about seasonal road closures. Always tell someone your route and expected return time.
