Once a site where people suffering from Hansen’s Disease (Leprosy) were sent to avoid transmission to others, Pala'au State Park is a state park located on the Hawaiian island of Molokai.

The 233-acre park is home to many ancient ruins, including Kaule O Nanahoa (the phallus of Nanahoa), a phallic stone thought to enhance fertility.

The Kalaupapa Lookout can be reached by a path that winds through an ironwood forest and offers breathtaking views of Kalalupapa from 1000-feet up.

Activities in the park range from picnicking and camping to hiking and wildlife watching and amenities include picnic tables, restrooms, a picnic pavilion, and campsites.
