Waianapanapa State Park is a 122 acre state park in Hana, on the island of Maui, in Hawaii. It is located at the end of Waianapanapa Road off Hana Highway at mile marker 32, 53 mi east of Kahului, Maui. Waianapanapa means "glistening fresh water" in the Hawaiian language, referring to nearby fresh water streams and sparkling pools. The camp offers camping facilities, including a small lawn where campers may pitch a tent, and a public bathroom nearby. Tide pools at the park turn red several times of a year. Scientists state that it is due to the arrival of small shrimp, however local folklore says it is the blood of Popoaleae, a mythical princess who was murdered in a nearby lava tube by her husband, Chief Ka'akea.
