Occassionally, the Air Force closes vehicular access through the Kaena Point Satellite Tracking Station at Yokohama for security reasons. These closures may be unannounced. It is recommended that you call the KPSTS land line is (808)697-4311 to check on potential closures.

The Kuaokala Road will become extremely slippery and muddy during rain events and large mud puddles will form. These conditions make the road impassable at times. Watch the weather before going and during your trip. Either cancel your trip, turn around or leave immediately should the weather dictate. Neither the US Air Force nor DLNR has the equipment, training or staff for vehicle recovery services should you get stuck. You will need to either contact an offroad towing service or get assistance elsewhere.
