OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Ahupua'a O Kahana State Park is located on
the windward side of O'ahu, between Kane'ohe
and La'ie, and 26 miles from Honolulu.
Kahana is a relatively unspoiled valley, and
one of only a few publicly owned ahupua'a,
or ancient Hawaiian land division, in the
state.
An ahupua'a includes lands from the
mountains to the sea (mauka-makai),
encompassing all of the resource zones
needed for subsistence. The ahupua'a of
Kahana encompasses almost 5,300 acres,
ranging from sea level at Kahana Bay to
2,670 feet at Pu'u Pauao on the crest of the
Ko'olau mountains. Kahana is one of the
wettest valleys on O'ahu. Overcast skies and
showers are frequent, with an average annual
rainfall of 75" along the coast to 300" at
the back of the valley. Temperatures can
range from the mid-60s to the mid-80s. |
