Kokee State Park

"Fun with the Family"

The Waimea Canyon State Park road ends at the 4,345-acre Kokee  State Park, where another slew of hiking trails can accommodate any skill level. It gets cold up here, so bring warm clothes. Be sure to follow the road all the way to its end, at Kalalau and Pu`u O Kila lookouts. From Kalalau you can see deep into Kalalau Valley, the largest and widest valley in the Na Pali cliffs, and you can also see the ever-beautiful Na Pali Coast from a different angle, as opposed to viewing it from the ocean. From Pu`u O Kila you also can see into Kalalau Valley, as well as across the Alakai Swamp to Mount Waialeale, in the center of the island.
Staff at the park headquarters can answer questions about the particular plants and animals in this region and about the conditions of certain trails. Be sure to pick up a free map that details all the trails in the park.
