'Opaeka'a Falls
'Opaeka'a Falls at Wailua River State Park in Wailua Homesteads, Hawaii (Kauai) is an easy 0.1-mile out-and-back paved/universal access trail that leads to a vista point of Opaekaa Falls.This is not a hike, but rather a short walk along a paved trail that leads to a view of 'Opaeka'a Falls. 'Opaeka'a Falls spills into the Wailua River, but there's not public access that leads to the base of the waterfall, so visitors can appreciate its beauty from this downstream vista.
