Hidden Lake Trail
Introduction
The Hidden Lake Trail lies within the Ko Olina resort area on Oahu, Hawaii, a loop path tucked between volcanic rock and tropical vegetation around a brilliant turquoise man-made saltwater lagoon. Fed by underground pipes from the Pacific, the lake is crystal clear with color gradations reminiscent of Jiuzhaigou. Palms, plumeria, hibiscus, and lava rock create a quintessential Hawaiian scene, and Hawaiian green sea turtles are often spotted gliding in the lagoon or basking on shore. The flat, easy 3km loop suits all ages for walking, jogging, or cycling. Far from Waikiki's bustle, it is a hidden paradise for sunset viewing, morning meditation, and family strolls, called by locals Oahu's most underrated free attraction.
