Spanny's Falls Dominica is an undiscovered treasure for the serious hiker. Although just 30 miles long and 15 wide, it has some of the most pristine montaine rainforest to be found anywhere. With several peaks over 4,000ft, it also boasts one of only two World Heritage Sites in the Eastern Caribbean - Dominica's Morne Trois Pitons National Park:

"Luxuriant natural tropical forest blends with volcanic features of high scenic appeal and scientific interest... With its precipitous slopes and deeply-incised valleys, fifty fumaroles and hot springs, freshwater lakes, a "boiling lake" and five volcanoes...together with the richest biodiversity in the Lesser Antilles, Morne Trois Pitons National Park presents a rare combination of natural features of World Heritage value. "

Dominica's well-established National Park service covers much of the island and there is an extensive network of trails that allow you to discover a wealth of hidden waterfalls, lakes, flora and fauna amid our lush tropical rainforest.

So come, Hike Dominica!

 
Featured Attraction: Carholm Lake

Random Hike

Carholm Lake
Also known as 'Matiere Lake', it was formed by a massive landslide in 1997, and has now settled into a beautiful, deep lake. It is possible to walk down to the lake, but is still considered an unstable area and caution must be exercised expecially if one does walk down.For many the view from the road above is the best. Reached after a 20 minute drive along a difficult road off the main Layou River road.
