Honey Creek (Pennsylvania)
Honey Creek is a 20.3-mile-long (32.7 km) tributary of Kishacoquillas Creek in Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, in the United States.
Honey Creek drains the northeast end of the Kishacoquillas Valley. Treaster Run joins just downstream of the community of Locke Mills. Sections of the creek bed are composed of porous limestone, allowing water to enter and flow through Alexander Caverns, near the community of Shrader. During low flow, on the surface the creek appears to disappear, while continuing to flow through the caverns. The creek joins Kishacoquillas Creek at Reedsville, approximately 6.9 miles (11.1 km) upstream of the Juniata River.

Famous quotes containing the words honey and/or creek:
“When one is hungry, everything is as sweet as honey, but when one is overfull, even honey is not sweet.”
—Chinese proverb.
“It might be seen by what tenure men held the earth. The smallest stream is mediterranean sea, a smaller ocean creek within the land, where men may steer by their farm bounds and cottage lights. For my own part, but for the geographers, I should hardly have known how large a portion of our globe is water, my life has chiefly passed within so deep a cove. Yet I have sometimes ventured as far as to the mouth of my Snug Harbor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
