Menehune Fishpond
From ancient times up until the mid-20th century the people of Hawaii lived off fish from this man made pond. The legend states that a race of tiny, but hard working people, called the Menehune, built the pond stone by stone in one night. Some scientists have estimated that the pond is close to 1,000 years old. The wall abuts the Hule'ia Stream with a 900 foot-long stone wall. An impressive feat indeed.
The pond is privately owned and was put up for sale for $12 million in 2005.
Take Highway 50 east toward Puhi. Turn right on Puhi Road just past Mile Marker #2, across the street from Kauai Community College. At the end of the road, turn left on Hulemalu Road. The fishpond is on the right and can be seen from the overlook.
Location: Menehune Fishpond is located in the East Kauai Region
