Green Lake (Hawaiian: Ka Wai o Pele)[1] was a freshwater crater lake in Puʻu Kapoho crater on the island of Hawaiʻi. With a surface area of 0.8 hectares (2.0 acres) and a maximum depth of 6 metres (20 ft), it was the largest natural freshwater lake in the Hawaiian Islands,[2] and, along with Lake Waiau, was one of two freshwater lakes on Hawaiʻi Island.
Hawaiian myths state that the lake was the first place visited by Pele, the volcano deity.[3] The lake was a popular swimming spot for locals and tourists.[4] Extensive vegetation, mainly Hibiscus tiliaceus, overhung the lake, shading about twenty percent of the lake's surface.[2]
On June 2, 2018, the lake was destroyed when lava flows from Kīlauea's lower Puna eruption boiled it away and completely filled the entire basin.[5][6]
