Ke Ala Kahawai o Waimea follows the Waikoloa stream through Waimea town for 1.04 miles. The Waimea trail is shaded, level and kid-friendly. You’ll find dog walkers, joggers and off-road bicyclists enjoying the stream side trail.
Diverse opportunities are available across the entire Trail, from building and maintenance to outreach work to volunteer photography. If you want to get involved in improving the Trail and its community, we've got options for you.
The Waimea Streamside Trail is here and accessible because of the generosity of our many dedicated supporters. Together, we build, maintain, and protect the Trail. Give a donation today!
This project addresses the transportation infrastructure required to facilitate the town’s growing community. It connects nature parks, schools, cultural centers, and local businesses. It improves connectivity and safety. This form of infrastructure greatly enhances the safety of motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians. It expands transit services and provides convenient connections within Waimea.
The history and legends surrounding this trail date back to prehistoric Hawaiian history, when Waimea (Kamuela) was home to the Ki'pu'upu'u warriors.
