Preserving Access to
Hawaii's Natural
Wonders

Public Access Trails Hawaii is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting and expanding public access to Hawaii's trails, natural areas, and outdoor spaces.

Hawaii's trails are more than pathways — they are connections to the land, to culture, and to the unique natural heritage of these islands. We work tirelessly to ensure that these trails remain open, safe, and accessible to residents and visitors alike.

Based in Wailuku on Maui, we advocate at the local and state level, coordinate trail maintenance, and educate the public about responsible trail use and conservation.
