Five Blues Lake National Park, National park in Stann Creek District, Belize.
Five Blues Lake National Park is a protected area spread across limestone hills in the Stann Creek District. The park centers on a lake with several coves that display varying shades of blue based on water depth and light reflection.
The park was established in the 1990s to protect this natural landscape in the limestone region. The main water body has shown recurring patterns of draining and refilling over the decades.
The protected area maintains the natural habitat for over two hundred bird species and all five types of wildcats native to Belize.
Access the park via Mile 32 on the Hummingbird Highway, where a visitor center provides information and registration. The center is open from 8 AM to 4 PM daily, so plan your visit accordingly.
The water reaches depths of about 200 feet, revealing a natural phenomenon where limestone deposits create multiple color variations. This depth effect makes the visual experience distinctive and showcases the area's geological character.
