It's 2.7 miles on the road where most people stop and stare at the mountain this is the start of the park. Many people also begin to cross the lava here too but it's about another 1.4 miles however this is all across private land. But no one seems to care.
If you go about 4 miles down the road you can cut across less lava to the 0.6 lava front (turn off road at 19.32206N, 155.03916W). Go another mile or so to get a good view of the lava coming down the mountain. Angle towards 19.32838N, 155.04536W to stay on park property.

Closest front of the lava is about 19.33064N, 155.04343W (private land) and closest to the mountain is about 19.34201N, 155.04651W (just inside the park at make-shift helipad).
It changes daily, so this information is outdated, but it's a starting point.
