The Garden Isle favorite for enjoying State Parks.

A new survey by the Hawaii Tourism Authority
shows four of the state's 10 most popular
state parks are on Kauai: Wailua State Park,
Haena State Park; Waimea Canyon; and the
Napali Coast.

The most frequently visited park site,
however, is the Pali Lookout on Oahu, also
known as Nu'uanu Pali State Wayside.

Also on the list are Diamond Head, Oahu;
Makena State Park, Maui; Hapuna Beach State
Recreation Area, Big Island; Iao Valley State
Monument, Maui; and Ka'ena Point State Park,
Oahu.

The survey covered 55 state parks on
all islands. Researchers randomly visited
park sites and surveyed visitors between July
and October 2007
