Lava Tree State Park
Three minutes East of Pahoa, this park was formed 200 years ago. The lava flow left a thick coating around ohia trees. As they died lava tubes were created. Huge albizia trees make a canopy over ginger, haleconias & other exotic local flora. Lava Tree State Park web site

MacKenzie State Park
A view to the ocean from steep cliffs, this is a great place to take a few moments to meditate and enjoy the hypnotizing view of the coastline or enjoy a picnic. Tall Ironwood trees surround the park make dramatic scenery. There are ancient trails (Kings Trail) planted by Queen Emma when she visited. At the right time of year you can spot whales, dolphins and sea-turtles. MacKenzie State Park web site |
