Kalopa State Recreation Area

The Kalōpā Native Forest State Park and Recreation Area is a state park with an arboretum of native trees located approximately 40 mi northwest of Hilo, near the village of Honokaa, a few miles inland from the Mamalahoa Highway (Route 19) section of the Hawaii Belt Road, Island of Hawaii, Hawaii.

This 100 acre park adjoins an additional 500 acre in the Kalopa Forest Reserve. The park is at an elevation of 2000 ft and includes a 0.7 mi loop through a forest of native ōhia lehua (Metrosideros polymorpha) trees. A number of rare plants can be found in the arboretum area, including endangered loulu palms (Pritchardia spp.), as well as a number of rare native hibiscus. Due to the altitude, damp and chilly weather is the norm.

Services available at the park include restrooms, drinking water, cabins, and camping.
