Kaumahina State Wayside Park, State park rest stop on Hana Highway, Maui County, United States

Kaumahina State Wayside Park is a forested rest area along the Hana Highway on Maui with walking trails that pass through native plants. The grounds offer views toward the surrounding coast and Keanae Peninsula.

Kaumahina State Wayside Park lies along the Hana Highway, 28.3 miles east of Kahului and 22.4 miles west of Hana, on a 7.8-acre parcel of forest and exotic plants in Maui County. The highway itself, built to connect the isolated Hana district with the rest of Maui, made such roadside stopping places necessary for travelers on the long coastal drive.

The Hawaiian name Kaumahina refers to the site's setting on the windward slope above the Ke'anae Peninsula. The wayside is a roadside stop where drivers on the Hana Highway pause among forest and exotic plants; from the clearing the Ke'anae Peninsula and the northeast Maui coastline are visible below.

The park lies 28.3 miles east of Kahului and 22.4 miles west of Hana on the Hana Highway, so it works as a midpoint break on the drive. Facilities are limited to a rest stop, and the 7.8-acre grounds of forest and exotic plants are best walked in sturdy shoes.

The park covers 7.8 acres of forest and introduced plants, and its overlook faces the Ke'anae Peninsula on the northeast Maui coast. It lies 28.3 miles east of Kahului and 22.4 miles west of Hana, so it falls roughly midway on the Hana Highway drive.
