The Great Adventure And Water Activity At Salt Lake

Salt lake is a suburban neighborhood of honolulu, hawaii on the island of oahu. The area is also known as āliamanu after a nearby crater, although salt lake itself is in a crater called ālia pa‘akai meaning “salt pond” in hawaiian. The salt lake community was developed in the 1960s during the hawai‘i construction boom, providing residents with an expansive view of downtown hotels in honolulu hi and the sugarcane plantations of the central plain of oahu. It is a community of high-rise condominiums, mid-rise town-dwellings, and houses snaking around the remnants of a now freshwater lake. the salt lake community is built in the larger and easternmost of three overlapping, low profile, tuff cones or volcanic craters, makalapa, āliamanu and āliapa‘akai.
