Morne Trois Pitons National Park

Introducing Morne Trois Pitons National Park

This national park and Unesco World Heritage site in the southern half of the island encompasses 17, 000 acres of Dominica’s mountainous volcanic interior.

Most of the park is primordial rainforest, varying from jungles thick with tall, pillarlike gommier trees to the stunted cloud-forest cover on the upper slopes of Morne Trois Pitons (4550ft), Dominica’s second-highest mountain. The park has many of the island’s top wilderness sites, including Boiling Lake, Boeri Lake, Freshwater Lake and Middleham Falls. Hikes to all four start at Laudat (elevation 1970ft), a small hamlet with fine mountain views.

All of the hikes below can be done as a (long) day trip from Roseau. Pretty much all hotels and guest houses can hook visitors up with a guide (per person US$40 to US$60), if one doesn’t find you first.
