Description
The magnificent 442-foot drop of Akaka falls is at the same time Hawaii's most dramatic waterfall and its most understated. The State Park is tucked into the extreme end of the island's windward side, and seeing the falls involves an easy, paved half-mile walk from the parking area. Legend has it that the god Akaka slipped off the edge of the cliff while running from his wife after being caught in bed with another woman. True or not, the dramatic story does justice to the natural splendor of the falls, and the lush green forest that surrounds them.
