Kaloko Fishpond

TIME : 2016/2/18 11:16:49

At the northern end of Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park, this fishpond is one of the most interesting sites because its massive rock retaining wall is being completely rebuilt, so it can once again be fished in the traditional way. Some speculate that the bones of Kamehameha the Great were secretly buried in a cave nearby.

From the park's visitor center, drive north on Hwy 19 until you reach a separate gated entrance at Ala Kaloko Rd. Alternatively, it's about a 1-mile hike north from the visitor center along the coastal Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail , a restored ancient Hawaiian footpath.
