Nature
Kōkeʻe State Park occupies 4,345 acres of mountainous plateau in northwestern Kauaʻi, at elevations that create a cooler, wetter climate than the coast and support montane mesic forest with native koa and ʻōhiʻa lehua. Known for hiking, birdlife, and sweeping views toward Kalalau Valley and the Nā Pali Coast, it includes trails ranging from short nature loops to longer routes through wet forest and along valley rims. The park also connects natural and cultural history through Kalalau Valley, an annual festival honoring Queen Emma of Hawaii, and a 1935 Civilian Conservation Corps camp, the only one of Hawaii’s five original CCC camps still remaining in a natural area.
