IMPACT FROM HIKERS.

The popular Maunawili Falls Trail, a 2.8-mile trek to a swimming hole in
Windward Oʻahu, will be closed for two years starting on July 15.

The state is planning major improvements to the trail, which starts in the quiet
Maunawili Estate subdivision, which has been inundated with hikers in recent
years. Residents have long complained about people parking in their driveways,
using their garden hoses without permission and leaving trash on roads and in
yards.

The project, which is expected to last two years, will include improvements to
the trail, which has deteriorated from overuse, and maybe a change in the trail
itself to protect historic and cultural sites.

“We appreciate everyone’s patience as we work on improvements to the Maunawili
Falls Trail,” said Marigold Zoll, O‘ahu Branch Manager for the state’s Division
of Forestry and Wildlife, in a news release. “We look forward to working with
the community on a plan that honors and preserves the natural and cultural 
resources of Maunawili and also affords visitors opportunities to respectfully
enjoy the valley.”

There are safety issues, too.

In recent weeks the Honolulu Fire Department has had to rescue injured hikes
from the trail, including two women who needed to be airlifted. Most have been
visitors.

While the trailhead is closed, hikers can still access the falls via the much
longer Maunawili Trail—it’s about 10 miles one way—which starts just off the
Pali Highway.
