Wahiawa Freshwater State Recreation Area

Lake access at Wahiawā Freshwater State Recreation Area is closed until further notice: DLNR closed the boat ramp, banks and shores of the reservoir for public safety, because water levels are low ahead of a rehabilitation of the Wahiawā Dam. The park stays open for onshore activities, though parts of it are closed for tree trimming. The park is for picnicking along the wooded shore of Wahiawa Reservoir, also called Lake Wilson, and it is normally used for shore and boat fishing. Swimming and water skiing are not allowed, and boats may be used for fishing and nothing else. Under State rules for the Wahiawā Public Fishing Area, which covers part of the reservoir, anglers need a valid Freshwater Game Fishing License and entry permit (or another appropriate license or permit) and a Coast Guard-approved flotation device, bass and tucunare are catch and release, and no one may go within a set distance of the spillway dam. Pets, alcohol and smoking are not allowed in the park.
