After a long process, dogs and their walkers are now welcome on a portion of the Lihue-Anahola Path. Your willingness to get involved, coupled with responsive, enlightened County leadership make it happen!

Your support continues to ensure that the 18 month trial period, which began on December 1, 2008 is a success. The dog-friendly portion of pathway is roughly two miles from Lihi Boat Ramp to the picnic shelter nearest Kealia River.

On Path Reminders!

There are several requirements of all dog walkers. Handlers must be in command and in control of the dog at all times. A limit of no more than two dogs per handler is required. Walkers must visibly carry the necessary instruments required for the removal and disposal of dog poop. All dogs must have a current dog license tag and be on a leash no more than 6 feet long.

Aloha everyone! If you are intersted in a Snorkel Tour or Scuba Diving on the Garden Island of Kauai, check out Watersport Adventures. A couple of weeks ago I went for my first Scuba Dive and it was amazing! My dive instructor was Cory Waialeale and he made me feel so safe and comfortable. I was a little nervous as most people probably are for the first time, but he was so patient with me. It was so beautiful, like being in another world…we saw different kinds of fish and sea turtles! It truly was an amazing experience and I can’t wait to go again.
