Lava Tree State Monument is a public park. In 1790, a lava flow preserved a forest, which can be viewed along this 0.7-mile loop trail. The trail is paved, so bikes can be walked down this road. This preservation is unusual and was caused by a lava flow that swept through this forested area and left behind molds of the tree trunks.

Lava Tree State Park is a beautiful park. The park gets its name from lava molds of the tree trunks that were formed when a laval flow came through the area in 1790. The park offers a nice contrast with sooty, earth trees growing next to vibrant flowers and ferns.
