Polipoli Spring State Recreation Area

It is on the island of Maui about ten miles from Kula up the slope of Haleakalā.

Located at about 6,200 feet (1,900 m) above sea level, it extends through the fog belt of the mountain forests.

[3] The Polipoli Trail, which starts within the recreation area, features various conifers.

When the park was established, it was devoid of trees and was subsequently reforested in the 1930s with pines, eucalyptus, tropical ash, cypress, China-fir, and coast redwood.

Activities in the park include off-roading, hiking, and hunting for wild boar and feral goats.
