MAINTENANCE WORK TO CLOSE MULIWAI TRAIL & WAIMANU CAMPGROUND

(Hilo) – The DLNR Division of Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW) will be conducting maintenance work on Muliwai trail and Waimanu campground between November 15-18. The Muliwai trail will be closed to all users during this period.

This is part of DOFAW’s routine maintenance of the trail and campground, including maintaining proper function of the Clivus composting toilets, litter pick up, removing fallen trees, and clearing land slides and use of herbicide to control invasive plants. This trail and campground are closed and maintained about four times a year. 

Please see the state’s camping website for the latest information on the reopening.
