Mokuleia Trail

Description:

• A permit and four-wheel drive is needed to access this trail through the Kaena Point Satellite Tracking Station Road. The permit is issued by DLNR, Division of Forestry and Wildlife, 1151 Punchbowl St., Room 325, Honolulu, HI 96813. Mokuleia Trail goes through the Mokuleia Forest Reserve and the Pahole Natural Area Reserve (NAR), then crosses the Forest Reserve Boundary onto private land. This trail traverses a public hunting area - hikers should exercise caution. Please do not mountain bike on this trail - this trail is closed to mountain bikes. The Pahole NAR is a sensitive ecosystem and DOFAW is attempting to restore native vegetation that occurs in this area. Before hiking Mokuleia Trail, please check the soles of your shoes to assure that they are free of dirt and seeds. Seeds transported in this manner may inadvertantly spread unwanted and invasive vegetation. There is also a boot brush provided at the trail head - please use it.
