A favorite place for hikers, campers and picnickers, this park is located on the western shore of Kauai. The centerpiece here is the spectacular Waimea Canyon. One of the best ways to see the canyon is to hike the easy Iliau Nature Loop, located between Mile Marker 8 and 9. The Koke'e Natural History Museum, located inside the park, is a great place to learn about the surroundings, research the trails or pick up a map. Kōkeʻe State Park offers an opportunity to connect with nature, explore diverse ecosystems, and experience the awe-inspiring beauty of Hawaii's uplands.
