Enjoy a picnic at Capulin Volcano! With 10 shaded picnic tables to choose from with a lovely view of the volcano, this is a perfect spot to stop for lunch.
Accessible seasonal restrooms and drinking water are located in the center of the picnic area for your convenience.
If you would like to hike across some of the hardened lava flows that erupted from Capulin Volcano, two unpaved trails leave from the picnic area. The Lava Flow Trail is a one mile loop that crosses two of the four lava flows that Capulin Volcano produced. The Boca Trail is a two mile loop that goes past two collapsed lava tubes and other lava features.
