Waiwelawela Point Spring
Waiwelawela Point Spring is a warm spring inside Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, around six miles from Pahala in Hawaii County. The water sits a shade under body heat, soaking warm on a cool day and lukewarm on a hot one. Land is public and open, and you reach it on foot. Elevation is not on record.
The walk runs about three and a half miles in from the nearest road, and which road that is goes unrecorded. Around fifty inches of rain fall yearly, no snow, with averages in the mid seventies. Park Service land throughout, with no altitude figure on record. Terrain and trail are not described.
January through March are the months on file as best. Heat is never the issue here; the water is mild and carries no burn risk. Expect a long hike each way on park land with no campground listed and no fee recorded. The park can tell you if the route is open.
