HRS §171-26
Public access paths and hunting land rules
Before selling or leasing public land, the state must create reasonable paths from main roads to public beaches, hunting areas, and forests so people can use them. The board must check if leased land is good for hunting and can set it aside for that, unless it conflicts with the lease. The state or lessee pays for paths and fences as the board decides.

The statute, as written — Rights-of-way to the sea, game management areas, and public hunting areas
Prior to the disposition of any public lands, the board of land and natural resources shall lay out and establish over and across such lands a reasonable number of rights-of-way from established highways to the public beaches, game management areas, public hunting areas, and public forests and forest reserves in order that the right of the people to utilize the public beaches, game management areas, public hunting areas, and public forests and forest reserves shall be protected. Prior to the leasing of any lands, the board shall determine the feasibility of hunting on such lands, and if any of them is suitable for hunting or may during the term of the lease become suitable for hunting, the board may reserve such lands as game management areas or public hunting areas. Where the board finds that hunting on such lands would not be consistent with the rights of the lessee or for other good cause, the board need not reserve such lands as game management areas or public hunting areas. The cost of such rights-of-way and any fencing which may be required shall be borne by the State, lessee or jointly as the board may deem appropriate prior to the leasing of such lands.
