Aloha and Welcome
to Hawai‘i State Parks!

Hawai‘i is the most remote land mass on earth. Its
reputation for unsurpassed natural beauty is reflected in
our parks that span mauka to makai (mountains to the sea).
Hawai‘i’s state park system is comprised of 50 state parks,
scenic waysides, and historic sites encompassing nearly
30,000 acres on the 5 major islands. The park environments
range from landscaped grounds with developed facilities towildland areas with rugged trails and primitive facilities.
Outdoor recreation consists of a diversity of coastal andwildland recreational experiences, including picnicking,camping, lodging, ocean recreation, sightseeing, hiking, andpleasure walking. The park program protects, preserves,and interprets excellent examples of Hawai‘i’s natural andcultural history.  The exceptional scenic areas are managed fortheir aesthetic values and developed for their superb views.
We invite you to experience Hawai‘i, learn about its
unique resources and history, and participate in outdoor
recreation by visiting our parks. As you visit, please help usprotect Hawai‘i’s fragile and irreplaceable resources for future
generations by heeding the rules and posted safety signs.
