    Route

    The trail starts near the Kokee State Park Headquarters. This trail goes through the Kuia Natural Area Reserve before reaching the forest reserve. The trail ends at 2,234 ft. elevation at a U.S.G.S. survey marker titled “Lolo No. 2”. This trail is used mostly as an access route for hunters but also serves as an alternate route to the cross over Nuʻalolo Cliff Trail to Awaawapuhi Trail.

    DANGER – Do not venture beyond the safety railings at the end of the trail! Footing is extremely unstable, and the drop to the valley floor below is over 2,000 feet. Equestrian use by hunters only. Do not use any trail or access road that is not delineated by name and color and that may also be displayed on these maps. The marked features are managed for public recreational use. Other trails or roads that branch off from the public features may be on private property, and are not managed for any public recreational use. Access is subject to adjacent landowner approval, and if used without authorization, you will be trespassing and possibly putting yourself at risk.

    As of March 11, 2014, the Kauai recreational trail map is temporarily unavailable for distribution or purchase.
