Surface and effort
Asphalt separated bicycle/pedestrian greenway. Mostly low-relief coastal/airport-edge path, exposed to wind, heat and blowing sand. Walk uncomfortable gate/access transitions.
Crossings and shared use
Yield to walkers and slow at junctions. Stop and look at every street crossing; do not use traffic lanes to bypass a closure. Yield to pedestrians, keep right, and slow at blind corners. Stop at barriers; never use a traffic-road detour to bypass a trail closure.
Hours, costs and access
Airport-edge gates sunrise to sunset; obey current park/path signs. Follow current public visitor-parking terms; reserved activities and events have separate conditions.
Reviewed 2026-10-22. Freshly retrieved HDOT July 17, 2025 release expressly reopens the completed airport cleanup reach and institutes sunrise–sunset gates at Stable Road and ʻĀmala Place. That dated actual reopening is distinct from the earlier projected July 21 date. Trail conservancy lists asphalt; the bicycle league explains separated access from Kanahā and street gaps farther east. Its 2017 future-extension timeline is historical, not proof of a current continuous regional path. This is a source review, not a same-day inspection. Recheck the linked manager before travel.
Map and Directions
