Kalōpā State Recreation Area

The forest at Kalōpā is intact native ʻōhiʻa lehua — old enough that some of the trees on the loop are over three feet across. ʻŌhiʻa is currently under threat from rapid ʻōhiʻa death (ROD), a fungal disease that has killed millions of trees across the state. Stay on the marked trails. Brush mud off your shoes before and after the loop. Do not collect plant material. The cabins and camping require advance permits through DLNR; do not show up expecting walk-in space.
