Middleham Falls, Waterfall in Saint Paul Parish, Dominica.
Middleham Falls is a waterfall in Saint Paul Parish that flows through dense rainforest and creates a natural pool at its base. The water cascades over dark volcanic rock formations that rise on both sides of the falls.
The area existed as part of Dominica's natural landscape for centuries before Hurricane Maria in 2017 altered the surrounding environment and trail access. Recovery efforts afterward gradually restored the route for visitors.
Local guides share knowledge of Dominican nature and wilderness as they lead visitors through the trails near the waterfall. This trek holds meaning for many people as a way to connect with the island's wild heart.
The trail requires sturdy hiking boots and weather-appropriate clothing, as the ground is wet and slippery in places. Bring water and a flashlight, especially if you walk during early morning or late afternoon hours.
Wooden steps and a concrete viewing platform allow visitors to see the water cascade from different angles between the volcanic rocks. These structures provide safe vantage points that would otherwise be hard to find in the thick vegetation.
