Polipoli Spring State Recreation Area is a state park on the slopes of Haleakala on Maui. Set within the 21,000-acre Kula Forest Reserve at 6,200 feet above sea level, the Polipoli Spring State Recreation Area spans 10 acres and extends through the fog belt of the lush mountain forests.
Boasting cold temperature and rough terrain that requires four-wheel drive access, the area features four hiking trails which wind through the natural vegetation on the mountain slopes.
The Haleakala Ridge Trail boasts grassland, scrub, and forest habitat with cinder substrates, while the Plum Trail is aptly named after the plum trees en-route.
The Polipoli Trail features various conifers and the Redwood Trail has huge redwoods, an old ranger's cabin, and is popular with mountain bikers.
