Pauwela Point
Here's another little dirt road ride. About 100' east and opposite
the Haiku Community Center on the Hana Highway is a public road that
leads to Pauwela Point Lighthouse. The road is about 1 mile long but
it leads to a technical 4 wheeler section down by the lighthouse.
This is the site of Island Bikers Pineapple Scramble MTB Race. (May 31
this year) Mountain bikers can often be found pedaling around the perimeter
of the pineapple fields here. Its about a 3.5 mile loop. The perimeter
roads are private but I haven't heard of anyone being busted for doing
the loop. That doesn't mean that it won't happen though.
The light house. A site for drinking parties. The area is frequently
littered with beer bottles etc. Homeless live in the bushes so be aware.
