Pipiwai Trail is a moderately strenuous 4 mile (6.3km) round trip trail. It winds upslope along the edge of Pipiwai Stream past several waterfalls and pools. The remains of a sugar mill dam, irrigation systems, and flumes of the late 1800's can be seen in several places along the trail. The Makahiku Overlook is just .5 mile (.8km) up the trail and looks down on a beautiful 184-foot (56m) waterfall. Continue your hike over foot bridges above the stream and through the alien bamboo forest. The trail ends near the base of the 400-foot (122m) Waimoku Falls. Be prepared for rain, mud, and slippery mosses and mosquitoes.
