Limited Access to Haena State Park, the Napali Coast State Wilderness Park and the Kalalau Trail

Posted on Mar 22, 2021

Due to recent landslides caused by heavy rainfall and flooding there is limited access to Haena State Park, the Napali Coast State Wilderness Park, and the Kalalau Trail. Haena State Park and the Kalalau Trail are OPEN and existing reservations are being honored – day use and overnight. However, due to uncertainty of access, new permits are NOT being issued for future dates, but we expect to reactivate the reservation system soon. Permittees are encouraged to be vigilant and check the Hawaii DOT webpage for current Kuhio Highway access hours and protocols.
