Boiling lake

The Boiling Lake is a flooded fumarole located in Morne Trois Pitons National Park, a World Heritage Site on the island of Dominica. The lake, located 6.5 miles (10.5 km) east of Dominica’s capital Roseau, is filled with bubbling greyish-blue water that is usually enveloped in a cloud of vapour. The Boiling Lake is approximately 200 to 250 feet (60 to 75 m) across and is the second-largest hot lake in the world after Frying Pan Lake, located in Waimangu Valley near Rotorua, New Zealand.

Roseau

The capital city, Roseau, is surrounded by the Caribbean Sea, the Roseau River, and Morne Bruce and is built on the site of the ancient Kalinago Indian village of Sairi. The quaint town has a picturesque array of 18th-century French architecture and is small enough to be easily explored on foot.

 

The oldest part of town is around Old Market Square, formerly the original slave market. The Old Market Square is now a vibrant craft vendors’ market for cruise ships and other visitors. The Old Post Office building is now the home of the Visitors’ Information Center, and the Dominica Museum which showcases a small collection of artifacts tracing the island’s history. The Roseau Cruise Ship berth sits across from the Museum and cruise visitors walk off the ships directly into the city for shopping and tours.

Notable sites around Roseau include The New Market on the Riverbank, which displays fresh tropical fruit, vegetables, and herbs. The Roseau Market is liveliest on Saturday mornings but is open all day and through the night from Friday to Saturday.

Morne Bruce is located just above the Botanical Gardens, which offers a panoramic view of the entire city and is a favorite of cruise visitors. Other historic sites include the Fort Young Hotel, Anglican Church relics, the President’s Office (state house), the Carnegie Library relics, the Cenotaph, and the slave monument, all on Victoria Street.

, a small peninsula with a rising headland that extends westward from the village at Dominica’s southwest tip. The Carib name of the peninsula is Cachacrou, literally “that which is being eaten (by the sea)”; this is possibly a reference to its location at the convergence of the Caribbean Sea to its north and the Atlantic Ocean to its south.

Located in the heart of the island, at the northern edge of Morne Trois Pitons National Park, Emerald Pool has become rather iconic as a visual representation of Dominica.

Whether you’re planning an extended stay or a day cruise trip, Emerald Pool is not to be missed when traveling to Dominica. It is one of the natural attractions of Waitukubuli National Trail Segment 5—the Maroon Trail. Emerald Pool is surrounded by lush vegetation and provides a cool reprieve for swimmers and waders on hot days.
