All you have to do it climb over the first fence then the second fence into the kohala forest reserve. i was supprised by how busy it was there as i had seen 4 different hiking groups that same time. So yes its closed but just some climbing and you in and many many people do it. I hiked somewhat on the rim of waipio via white road.

For the best Hawaii tourbook, visit Wizardpub.com. It is written by a guy who lives there, and who knows all the local gems and gold mines (Figuratively). The reason I say you shouldn't have to pay is because it is government owned land. Unfortunately, a recent earthquake caused sections of the trail to collapse, and they have now padlocked the gate for access.

Part of the path we walked on was laid in stone by the Japanese plantation workers. We also saw some large trees that they brought over and planted along the path to help them find it.

I have hiked around the rim of Waipio Valley many times entering from White road. I am so sorry to hear that it is now closed. It was one of my most favorite hikes where you hiked next to the Hamakua ditch and saw the beautiful stone work done by the Japanese plantation contract workers over a century ago, hiked through fields of fragrant ginger and a tall green bamboo forest are some of the high lights. I hope they open up this free hike again. Hi Sheila,
