After too many visitors, Maunawili Falls trail in Hawaii is closing for two years FacebookTwitterEmail A trail in eastern Hawaii is closing for two years after years of complaints. Located in Oahu’s eastern shore, Maunawili Falls trail is a popular destination. The hike takes visitors through tropical greenery to a small waterfall overlooking a secluded swimming hole that is deep enough for hikers to jump into. But the trailhead is near the Maunawili Estates neighborhood, and residents have long complained of trash that hikers have left behind, as well as vandalism and unwanted behavior. “I’m an avid hiker myself but I feel like there’s a lot of disrespect with the hikers that come into this neighborhood,” one resident told KHON2. “We’ve got people that use the restroom in the bushes next to people’s houses.”
