Puaa Kaa Falls (Pua'a Ka'a Falls) Puaa Kaa Falls (or Pua'a Ka'a Falls; rolling pig) resides in the Pua'a Ka'a State Wayside Park, which makes it one of the rare waterfalls on the Hana Highway where public access is welcome. For one reason or another, we overlooked the pair of waterfalls in this park in our 2003 visit. And then in our 2007 visit, the park was closed due to sewage work (a real bummer). I had read that it's possible to do some awkward, muddy scrambling past this lower waterfall, and then walk atop an embankment above a water diversion ditch (very scary for those afraid of heights apparently). That ultimately leads to a second (upper) similar waterfall whose water flow has not been diverted (for better flow). I'll have to come back here one of these days to check out that waterfall.
