20.0386°N -155.4389°WThe Kalōpā Native Forest State Park and Recreation Area is a state park with an arboretum of native trees located approximately 40miles northwest of Hilo, near the village of Honokaʻa, a few miles inland from the Mamalahoa Highway (Route 19) section of the Hawaii Belt Road, Island of Hawaiʻi, Hawaiʻi.
This 100abbr=onNaNabbr=on park adjoins an additional 500acres in the Kalopa Forest Reserve. The park is at an elevation of 2000feet and includes a 0.7adj=onNaNadj=on loop through a forest of native ʻōhiʻa 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.
