The Hilo Bayfront Trails project is being developed section by section as funding becomes available (see map). The entire system may be envisioned as a series of lei, linked in loops and tying together our community’s history, scenery, recreational activities and the exquisite open space areas fronting Hilo Bay. The sections are numbered for convenience, but they may be built out of sequence and/or simultaneously, as opportunities for partnerships and funding arise.
