The Honeycombs, Rock formation in Malheur County, Oregon, United States
The Honeycombs feature a series of stone formations with regular cavities that extend across the eastern shore of Owyhee Lake in Oregon.
The Bureau of Land Management established the Honeycombs Research Natural Area spanning 6,143 hectares to protect these geological structures and study their formation patterns.
The region maintains its natural state, featuring sagebrush and bunchgrass communities that reflect the traditional landscape of eastern Oregon's high desert environment.
Visitors can reach The Honeycombs by boat from Owyhee Lake or by following a 4WD road to Juniper Ridge, with further exploration requiring foot travel.
The elevation within The Honeycombs area ranges from 975 to 1,310 meters, creating a varied terrain of weathered bedrock with distinct cavernous patterns.
