The Iao Stream flowing alongside the parking area in Iao Valley State Park. This was the site of Maui's bloodiest battle. In 1790, Kamehameha the Great invaded Kahului by sea and routed the defending Maui warriors up into precipitous Iao Valley. Those who were unable to escape over the mountains were slaughtered along the stream, which became so choked with bodies that the area became known as Kepaniwai (Damned Waters).
