The Honey Lake Fault Zone is a right lateral-moving (dextral) geologic fault extends through northwestern Nevada and northeastern California. It is considered an integral part of the Walker Lane.

The fault presents on the surface with a 50 km (31 mi) zone of disturbed landforms. The geological evidence shows at least four surface-faulting earthquakes have occurred in the late Holocene era.[1]
