About this spot

Petroglyph Boardwalk

The Petroglyph Boardwalk, located in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, is a unique point of interest that offers visitors the opportunity to view ancient rock carvings created by the island's early inhabitants. The boardwalk is a 0.7-mile loop trail that winds through a lava field, providing stunning views of the surrounding landscape.

One of the main reasons to visit the Petroglyph Boardwalk is to experience the rich cultural history of Hawaii. The petroglyphs were created by the Native Hawaiian people over 700 years ago and are believed to depict various aspects of their daily life and spiritual beliefs. Visitors can view over 70 petroglyphs on the boardwalk, including images of people, animals, and geometric shapes.

In addition to the petroglyphs, the boardwalk also offers unique geological features, including lava tubes and fissures. Visitors can learn about the geological processes that created the surrounding landscape and see firsthand the effects of volcanic activity.

Overall, the Petroglyph Boardwalk is a must-see destination for anyone interested in Hawaii's rich cultural history and unique geological features. Visitors can expect to experience stunning views, learn about the island's early inhabitants, and gain an appreciation for the natural forces that have shaped the area.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace

Know before you go
Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
Stay on trail
Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
Respect wildlife
Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
Pack it in, pack it out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
Leave what you find
Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
