- Lava Butte: you drive up the cylinder cone to have views towering over the lava flow, the Deschutes National Forest and Paulina Peak and her lakes. There is a quick hike around the rim of the cone.
- Trail of Molten Land: the mostly paved trail at the bottom of Lava Butte.
- The Lava Butte Interpretive Center: This is one of the better interpretive centers I've experienced in Oregon. There are interactive displays. The education is heavy on volcanoes and includes information on Crater Lake, Mt. St Helens and even the Wisconsin Glacial Period.
- Lava Cast Forest: Casts are made after lava flows into a forest and that casts are "tree molds" of what is left. The cast forest here was formed 7,000 years ago. The trail is paved and very easily accessible. It's about a mile long.
- Lava River Cave: The longest continuous lava tube in Oregon. It's 5, 211 feet long. We explored this for a bit after we did the Lava Cast Forest walk. I think we both enjoyed the Ape Caves lava tubes in the Gifford Pinchot better. As with all lava tubes (I say this as if it is common knowledge), you need to dress warmly even if it's hot outside. The tubes are always in the 40's degree wise. Unless you want to rent a light from the park, bring headlamps and/or a good flashlight. Try to look up close to the floor and the walls of the cave, try to find life in there.
