Wailua River State Park, Hawaiian state park in Kauai County, US.

Located along Hawaii's sole navigable waterway, Wailua River State Park extends through a valley with tropical forests and two prominent waterfalls.

The Wailua Complex of Heiau within the park includes sacred temples, stones, and structures that served as centers of power for Hawaiian chiefs.

Ancient Hawaiians designated specific stones within the park for royal births and ceremonial practices, maintaining deep connections to their traditions.

Visitors can access the park daily from 7:00 AM to 7:45 PM without entrance fees, with boat tours and kayak rentals available at Wailua Marina.

The park features Fern Grotto, a natural cave formation where delicate ferns grow upside down from the ceiling, creating distinctive botanical displays.
