Freshwater Lake stands at 2,500ft (762m) above sea level, and with an area of about 10 acres, is the largest lake in Dominica . It is 85ft (26m) deep when filled, but the level can fluctuate down to 65ft. The road to the Freshwater Lake runs along the southern edge of Morne Micotrin , Dominica 's fourth tallest mountain. The lake, the source of the Roseau River that runs through our capital city, has been tapped to generate hydroelectric power. A small trail network exists in the Freshwater Lake area, and boating tours on the lake are offered.

Boeri Lake was formed in the crater of an extinct volcano, and is located about 2,850 ft. (869m) above sea level. It covers about 4.5 acres (1.82 ha) and is the second largest lake on Dominica . It is about 135ft (41 m) deep when filled, but the level can drop dramatically in the dry season. As you approach the lake, the vegetation changes from montane forest to the stunted elfin woodland. From lakeside, you sometimes get spectacular views of Morne Trois Pitons, Dominica 's second highest mountain, directly ahead. The Freshwater Lake and Boeri Lake can be accessed from the village of Laudat .

The dive itself usually consists of a circuit around Champagne reef, just a bit further offshore, followed by a safety stop exploring the hot springs and bubbles. This is a dive for all levels, calm water and light to no currents. It is not unusual to find seahorses and frogfish here, and flying gurnards are common over the shallow sandy areas. Squid can often be seen in-shore not far from the bubbles. The best time to see this site in all its glory is at night, when the reef explodes with life: huge crabs and lobsters are common sightings. This site is easily accessible from shore and many people snorkel here. The road passes a couple of hundred yards to the north, making it easy for buses to drop off visitors without cars.

With a nickname like The Nature Island, it's no surprise that Dominica produces some of the very best produce anywhere in the Caribbean. Growing conditions are absolutely optimal across the island, with rich volcanic soil combining with steady rains and brilliant sunshine to yield bumper crops well beyond what you'll find in other parts of the region. In fact, many of the folks I talked to during my visit to Dominica last month feel that the island could easily feed the entire Caribbean, and then some. I'm inclined to believe them, especially after spending some time in the local market downtown in Roseau. I mean, just look at this…

The Indian River is a river on the Caribbean island of Dominica. It flows to the Caribbean Sea between the town of Portsmouth and the village of Glanvillia. Indian River boat rides are one of tourist attractions of Dominica. Some of the scenes of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest are filmed at Indian River.

Cabrits National Park is on a peninsula at the north end of the Caribbean island of Dominica, north of Portsmouth. The park protects tropical forest, coral reefs and wetlands. There are hiking trails and an English garrison called Fort Shirley. Cabrits National Park occupies 1,313 acres (531 ha) and was established in 1986. The word Cabrits means goat in Spanish, French and Portuguese, and is a reference to the animal that has been indigenous to Cabrits. Goats were introduced to the island by sailors, who set them free on the island to grow, so that there would be meat available when they returned. Fort Shirley was formerly a military outpost, a sterling example of its kind in the West Indies. The British built it in the 18th century garrison to defend north Dominica. It was later abandoned, and after suffering for years, Dr. Lennox Honychurch began restoration in 1989.

The Syndicate Nature Trail is a relatively simple route. It's easy, because it's well signposted and flat. It's short, so you won't get tired. It's picturesque, the forest is unspoilt and full of magnificent trees. It's perfect for beginning hikers and it's the best destination for birdwatchers, so that most birdwatching tours of the island are offered there. The trail loops through the forest, and it's almost clear of spots where one could look down. However, there is one lookout point above the Dublanc River valley. You can see the forest from above, so it's the best place to spot a jaco or a sisserou–the national bird. Not just them, the forest is full of the other life forms. Like, four species of hummingbird. And note, a typical walk is no longer than an hour, so the concentration of impressions during it may be really amazing.

Start the walk at the bottom of the inn's driveway, where you'll find a cement track leading east. Follow the track until you reach a little snack bar; take the footpath that leads downhill from there and in a couple of minutes you'll reach a viewing platform with a clear view of the falls. There are two separate waterfalls. Water from the upper falls crosses the Titou Gorge before plunging down the sheer 200ft rock face that fronts the viewing platform. At the base of the waterfall are hot sulfur springs. Look for yellow streaks on the rocks to find a good soaking spot. The lower falls flow from the Trois Pitons River in the Boiling Lake area. This waterfall, gentler and broader than the upper falls, has a deep and wide pool at its base made for swimming.

The Sari Sari Falls is one of Dominica's most magnificent waterfalls. Located near the south east village of Laplaine The drive takes you on a lush and windy country road With picturesque vistas of mountains, rainforest and rivers. The hike begins through a banana field Descending steeply into the Sari Sari Rive Gorge Adumbrated by the canopy of lush rain forest The trail becomes a series of cris crossing the river. You will be serenaded by the tranquil sound of the river as you trudge along. Suddenly as if by enchantment, the Sari Sari Falls appear before you But you are not done yet, before you can claim the rejuvinating reward Of a swim in the gorgeous pool at the base of the fall You need to scramble over a series of boulders. When you get there you will be truly experiencing One of the natural wonders of Dominica.

Dominica's Boiling Lake is situated in the Morne Trois Pitons National Park - Dominica's World Heritage site. It is a flooded fumarole 6.5 miles (10.5 km) east of Roseau, Dominica. It is filled with bubbling greyish-blue water that is usually enveloped in a cloud of vapour. The lake is approximately 200 ft (60 m) across. The first recorded sighting of the lake was in 1870 by Mr. Watt and Dr. Nicholls, two Englishmen working in Dominica at that time. In 1875, Mr. H. Prestoe, a government botanist, and Dr. Nicholls were commissioned to investigate this natural phenomenon. They measured the water temperature and found it to range from 180 to 197 degrees Fahrenheit (82 to 91.5 Celsius) along the edges, but could not measure the temperature at the centre where the lake is actively boiling. They recorded the depth to be greater than 195 ft (59 m).

Emerald Pool takes its name from its lush green setting at the base of a 12m (40ft) waterfall. The pool, deep enough for a swim, is reached via a five-minute walk through a rain forest of ferns and tall trees. Emerald Pool is generally a serenely quiet area except on cruise-ship days, when one packed mini-van after another pulls up to the site. The road from Canefield is a nice winding drive with thick jungle vegetation, mountain views and lots of beep-as-you-go hairpin turns. The trailhead is marked with a roadside forestry sign.
