North Shore Trails is a project of NSCLT to promote a system of multi-use trails along the North Shore and beyond, eventually connecting with places on the eastern and western shores of Oʻahu. The scope of this project includes supporting paved trails that offer transportation along the coastline as well as unpaved mountain and coastal trails that provide access to the uplands and ocean. This project began in 2015 with several community workshops, meetings with public officials, and visioning documents outlining the possibilities for a future trail system. In 2023, we started another round of community engagement and have developed partnerships with local organizations, public officials, and government agencies, which has led to substantial progress on multi-use path projects in our mission area. As this system of trails develops, it will expand opportunities for residents and visitors to appreciate the social, cultural, and ecological value of our coastal lands and waters, especially with the addition of signage and other complementary elements in the future. This project is propelled by the generous support and guidance of North Shore community members.
