Division of Forestry and Wildlife: Outdoor Recreation

Oʻahu is the most populous of the main Hawaiian Islands, which makes its remote, peaceful hiking trails all the more treasured. From popular visitor hikes including Mānoa Falls Trail to longer, mountainous treks like Manana Trail, Oʻahu’s trails offer an escape from city life and an entry into the quiet, mauka areas of this special island.

Oʻahu Nā Ala Hele Advisory Council

The Nā Ala Hele Advisory Councils provide advice and assistance to the department in implementing the Nā Ala Hele Program. There are seven councils: a statewide council, and island councils for the islands of Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi, Maui, and Hawaiʻi. Members of the advisory councils are appointed by the department chairperson and represent stakeholder groups including hikers, hunters, bikers, equestrian riders, off-highway vehicles, Hawaiian cultural representatives or practitioners, fishers, environmentalists, affected landowners, or other trail and access advocates.

Meeting documents for the Oʻahu Advisory Council are posted and archived below. Meeting documents of the other advisory councils can be found on the statewide Nā Ala Hele page or their respective island pages. For more information, contact Nā Ala Hele staff.
