Road Cycling Highlight (Segment)
Recommended by Alex
This Highlight goes through a protected area
Please check local regulations for: Malama-Ki Forest Reserve
MacKenzie State Recreation Area is a good stop and a great way to view the ocean. The cliffs are low, and there is an iconic volcanic coastline with shaded picnic areas and an ironwood grove. There is good fishing right there from the shore and on the old Hawai'ian coastal trail. There are trash cans here and restrooms; it's the perfect place to stop and take a break.
Warning: if cyclists wish to continue riding east, there is a short segment of packed gravel over a recent lava flow. This segment is not loose gravel and very sturdy and only lasts .3 miles.
