The park is about {{convert|11|mi}} north from Hilo, west of Honomū off the Hawaii Belt Road (route 19) at the end of Hawaii Route 220. It includes {{okina}}Akaka Falls, a {{convert|442|ft}} tall waterfall. {{okina}}Akaka in the Hawaiian language means "A rent, split, chink, separation; to crack, split, scale".[1] The accessible portion of the park lies high on the right shoulder of the deep gorge into which the waterfall plunges, and the falls can be viewed from several points along a loop trail through the park. Also visible from this trail is Kahūnā Falls, a {{convert|300|ft}} tall waterfall, and several smaller cascades.[2] Local folklore describes a stone here called Pōhaku a Pele that, when struck by a branch of lehua {{okina}}āpane, will call the sky to darken and rain to fall.[3] Lehua {{okina}}āpane or {{okina}}ōhi{{okina}}a {{okina}}āpane is an {{okina}}ōhi{{okina}}a tree (Metrosideros polymorpha) with dark red blossoms. {{okina}}Akaka Falls is located on Kolekole Stream. A large stone in the stream about {{convert|70|ft}} upstream of the falls is called Pōhaku o Kāloa.[3]WildlifeThe {{okina}}o{{okina}}opu {{okina}}alamo{{okina}}o is an endemic Hawaiian species of goby fish that spawns in stream above the waterfall, but matures in the sea. These fish have a suction disk on their bellies that allows them to cling to the wet rocks behind and adjacent to the waterfall. Using this disk, they climb back up to the stream when it is time to spawn. [4] A shrimp called the {{okina}}ōpaekala{{okina}}ole has also evolved to climb {{okina}}Akaka Falls and live in Kolekole Stream.[5] See also
