Division of Forestry and Wildlife: Outdoor Recreation

Maui Nui, comprised of Maui, Molokaʻi, and Lānaʻi, has an incredible density of reserves and other natural areas to explore via the Nā Ala Hele trails and access system. From the wet, montane forests of Molokaʻi Forest Reserve to the other-worldly slopes of Haleakalā, Maui Nui has an amazing diversity of places to explore.

If you’re preparing for a hike and looking for use and access information on a specific trail, we host that information on the mobile app Outerspatial and in your web browser at the interactive Hawaiʻi Trails portal. The Hawaiʻi Trails portal also includes information for commercial trail vendors.

Maui Nui Nā Ala Hele Advisory Councils

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 Maui Nui Advisory Councils 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.
