A Walk into Lapakahi's Past | Additional Description:
The first settlers of the Lapakahi area sailed into Koai'e Coe over 700 years ago. As you walk the trails of Lapakahi, you will see the remnants of this once thriving settlement at Koai'e. Archaeological research has provided inside into daily life of the families who lived, farmed, fished, and worshipped here.
The trail system consists of 2 loops. Starting here at the trailhead, the primary 0.5-mile loop takes you down to Koai'e Cove when you will see hālau wa'a (canoe sheds), boulders used for making pa'akai (salt), and walled habitation sites.
The second loop is approximately 0.3-mile long and leads further north to a possible heiau or religious site, more house sites, and sweeping views of the North Nohala coastline.
