  • Description:
    This report sets forth alternatives for administering Ala Kahakai (Trail by the Sea), the proposed demonstration project for a statewide trail system in Hawaii. Located on the Kona coast of the island of Hawai'i, Ala Kahakai would be composed of old Hawaiian trails passing through a scenic shoreline area of historical, biological, and geological significance and possessing great recreational value. Because numerous federal, state, and county agencies and private interests exercise control over the trail network and adjacent lands and waters, an effective administrative structure must be designed. This study examines the experiences of several jurisdictions outside Hawaii involved in the establishment and management of trail systems, and suggests a few administrative arrangements which might work for Ala Kahakai.
