Despite the fact that this place looks like a botanical garden, it is just one of many state parks. It's called Lava Tree State Park because when the lava came up from under the ground into this area, the existing trees acted like molds.
Some of the trees burned up once encased by the lava and others slowly degraded away leaving only a perfect tree mold, entirely made from lava rock. (See below.)
