This park on the Island of Hawai’i offers lush tropical vegetation  and scenic vista points overlooking the Kahuna Falls (cascading down 300 feet) and the  ‘Akaka Falls (free-falling 442 feet).  Both falls plunge into a steep-sided gulch cut by Kolekole Stream.

Hawaii State Parks  Here is the state’s brochure about parks.  Although the handicapped icon is not among those listed in the legend on page 3, if you scroll down you will find several sites where a red symbol is used for accessibility.  Note that some of the parks are temporarily closed due to flooding.  Always call ahead to check conditions.
