You might read about this spot online or in another guidebook. A half-mile beyond the 6 mile marker a trail leads mauka to four different falls. The spot should be considered Kapu, or off-limits.
It's located on private EMI property. EMI is the East Maui Irrigation company, and they have ditches running most of the way to Hana. Since they do divert water from various falls and occasionally prevent public access to certain locations, keep that in mind as you explore along the highway. Some waterfalls may be flowing at a lower than usual rate due to EMI diverting water from the stream above the falls. Their tunnels and ditches feed the cane fields in central Maui. Occasionally they also will block public access to certain locations with No Trespassing signs. A few waterfalls along the Hana Highway are completely on or inside EMI areas. The last we heard, EMI was not permitting anyone to hike on its property.
