      Please note: It is recommended to hike in a counterclockwise direction to avoid the exhausting uphill slog at the end when you are tired.

      The trails here are rocky lava with lots of roots through a beautiful forest with ʻōhiʻa trees and hapu ferns. It rains here almost every evening, and when wet, the rocks and roots are slick.

      History of the Makāula-‘O‘oma Forest Reserve Trails

      In the mid 1990s the state of Hawaii took back the lease of portions of land from Huehue Ranch to form forest reserves for recreation in Kona. The 1365-acre Makāula-‘O‘oma Forest reserve, on the northern border of the Kaloko subdivision, was dedicated for hiking and mountain biking.

      In 1993, the Department of Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW), asked Dr Jeff McDevitt and Grant Miller to build trails for mountain biking. The mountain bikers put in 6 miles of trails with hand tools over the next several years. Separate trails had been planned for hiking but never got built so the mountain bike trails became multiuse.

      The trails have been maintained since then by the two original trail builders from the nonprofit WEST HAWAII TRAILS, with assistance from DLNR in controlling invasive plants since 2017. They set up a volunteer trail maintenance workday on the first Saturday of every month, meeting 9 to 11 AM at the trailhead at end of Makahi St. More info about joining a trail day
