The park is about 11 miles (18 km) north from Hilo, west of Honomu off the Hawaii Belt Road (route 19) at the end of Hawaii Route 220, 19°51'15?N 155°9'9?WCoordinates: 19°51'15?N 155°9'9?W. It includes ?Akaka Falls, a 422 feet (129 m) tall waterfall. ?Akaka in the Hawaiian language means "A rent, split, chink, separation; to crack, split, scale". 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 Kahuna Falls."
