Manuka State Wayside

Manuka State Wayside offers a unique experience for nature enthusiasts and stargazers alike. Located in the lush landscapes of Hawaii, this park features a variety of trails, including a short loop that showcases a forested area. The terrain can be uneven, with lava rocks making the hike a bit challenging. Though views of the nearby pit crater may be limited due to vegetation, the park provides picnic areas and clean restrooms. Wildlife is also present, with occasional sightings of wild pigs and chickens. The park’s remote location makes it a good spot for dark sky viewing, ideal for those looking to explore the stars at night.
