The Powerline Trail is a spectacular yet difficult trail that can be accessed from either the North Shore or the upper East Side in Wailua. The hike literally cuts through the island and gives you a spectacular view of the islands interior as well as distant sweeping ocean views. The Powerline Trail from the North Shore starts at Kapa Ka Street, up the road from Princeville Ranch Stables. The beginning of the trail is at the start of a dirt road used to access the electric transmission lines for maintenance, the route follows the eastern boundaries of Halelea Forest Reserve, ending near the Keahua Forestry Arboretum in Lihue-Koloa Forest Reserve in the upper Wailua area. This is a dry-weather, all day hike. This hike is not for motor vehicle travel beyond the paved road. Access from the southern end is possible from the Keahua Forestry Arboretum. The trail system is NOT maintained.
