MAP AND DIRECTIONS

Waikalua Loko is located on the Southern shores of Kane'ohe Bay on the island of O'ahu, State of Hawaii, USA. It is also situated between the two waterways known as Kane'ohe Stream and Kawa Stream. Both of these streams drain approximately 5,000 plus acres of urbanized land extending from the Ko'olau mountain range to the bay.

It has a pond water surface area of approximately 11+ acres and has a fishpond wall (kuapa) extending from the land about 1,400 linear feet. Within the wall are three sluice gates (makaha) which currently are the primary sources of water to the pond based on tidal movements in the bay.

The current gates were last modified in 1930 utilizing concrete mortar and iron clad gates to control the entry and exit of fish. Current historical information to date indicate that the pond has been in existence for at least 150 years. Analysis of the pond walls and sediment floor will help to further determine a more accurate age of the pond.
