Lava Tree State Park

Located near Pahoa on Hwy 132 in the area of Puna and the nearby coast. The park preserves the tree molds created when molten lava hardened around a tree and burned the inside out leaving the "mold".

The tree molds here formed in a 1790 fire when a lava flow overran an ohia wood forest. Admission to this lunar landscape is free and it is open 24 hours.
