Hawai‘i Department of Land and Natural Resources reopened all staaparks and forest areas that were previously closed to the public because of severe weather throughout the islands earlier this week.

A portion of Pāʻulaʻula State Historic Site, formerly Russian Fort Elizabeth State Historical Park, on Kauaʻi.

Construction improvements at the site were delayed because of the inclement weather. (Photo Courtesy: Hawai’i Department of Land and Natural Resources Division of State Parks website)

However, there are two exceptions:

  • Kaumahina Wayside on Maui, which is closed for repairs on an intake waterline.
  • Pāʻulaʻula State Historic Site, formerly Russian Fort Elizabeth State Historical Park, on Kauaʻi remains closed because of construction improvements that were happening before the storm.

Forest reserves, wildlife sanctuaries, natural area reserves, Nā Ala Hele hiking trails, game management areas and campgrounds are all open.

Issuance of all state forest camping and park camping permits also resumed.
