The HulÃÂia National Wildlife Refuge is a National Wildlife Refuge on the island of Kauai in Hawaii. It is adjacent to the Menehune Fish Pond, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, on the southeast side of the island. The HulÃÂia Refuge is approximately of bottomlands and wooded slopes along the HulÃÂia River. It was established in 1973 to provide open, productive wetlands as nesting and feeding habitat for endangered Hawaiian waterbirds, including the (Hawaiian stilt, Himantopus mexicanus knudseni), (Hawaiian coot, Fulica alai), (Hawaiian gallinule, Gallinula chloropus sandvicensis), and (Hawaiian duck, Anas wyvilliana) can be found here.
To protect and minimize disturbance to the sensitive endangered species that live there, the refuge is closed to all public access. However, shoreline access is provided just to the east at Niumalu Beach Park.
