Much better than the Volcano state park Tree molds! These are actual trees and it is almost like walking in a prehistoric world! Must see!

This park has some interesting artifacts and good interpretive information regarding historical lava flows. Well worth an hour if you are in the Puna area. And it's free!

This is a nice way to pass an afternoon. There is really no where like it anywhere else. It would be nice if they had picnic tables, but you can't have everything. Stay on the paths, becasue you might end up in a fissure. There are no rangers on duty, as this is a state park. there are bathrooms, which... More

Very interesting. Easy huke. And just before the park, trees join over the road like a magnificent cathedral. Not to be missed !

This was a nice, maybe 30 minute stop. Very pretty and interesting. I wouldn't specifically go just for the park, but do stop if you are driving by!

This is a small state park. You can walk through the whole park in a small amount of time. It is beautiful there. The trees are so nice to see.

A local park with a fascinating origin, Lava Tree State Park is worth a half-hour visit enroute to Volcanoes National Park, the big attraction in the area. It has a easily navigable trails and a unique geological history, not to mention clean restrooms.

Quiet little park with a paved path around a handful of interesting old lava forms. Go see it if you're nearby, but not really worth going out of your way.

Get out for a short hike around the park, see unusual formations related to lava flows. Respect the area, enjoy the plants as well and get a brief geological education as well.
