Emerald Pool

The forty-foot waterfall cascades into a green-tinted natural pool surrounded by dense rainforest vegetation and moss-covered rocks within Morne Trois Pitons National Park.

The pool, discovered by local inhabitants before colonial times, became part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Morne Trois Pitons National Park in 1997.

Local residents consider the pool a representation of Dominica's natural heritage, incorporating it into traditional ceremonies and community gatherings throughout the year.

Visitors can reach the pool through a fifteen-minute walk from the main entrance, with facilities including changing rooms and restrooms available at the visitor center.

The minerals in the surrounding rock formations create the emerald color of the water, which changes intensity based on the angle of sunlight filtering through the forest canopy.
