Puaʻa Kaʻa State Wayside is a small state park about half a mile past mile marker 22 on the Hāna Highway. From the large paved lot on the ocean side, a paved trail leads to several small falls and pools and a picnic area. A larger falls upstream is reached by a dirt trail that crosses a viaduct; it is muddy and is not covered here.
