Morne Crabier (Level of difficulty: Unrated )
SouthWest
Time taken: 2 hours
This old trail is one of several which connect estates above the southern village of Scott's Head. It climbs up to about 1,400 ft. and over Morne Crabier. The trail starts from the main road to Gallion, at Morne Patate, and comes out above Scott's Head.

Capucin (Level of difficulty: Unrated )
NorthWest

This is Dominica's northwestern-most point and as such has great views north to Guadeloupe and the islands of The Saints. It's also the start of a spectacular hike along the coast to Delaford on the eastern side of the headland. Starting point: North of Portsmouth
Chaudiere Pool (Bense) (Level of difficulty: Unrated )
NorthEast
Time taken: 45 minutes each way
Leaving the main road the trail initially follows an old plantation track then passes through forest for a total of 2.8 miles before reaching a deep river pool called Chaudiere. An ideal swimming spot.
Starting point: On the Marigot-Portsmouth road two miles west of Calibishie.
Freshwater Lake (Level of difficulty: Unrated )
Roseau Valley
Freshwater Lake rests at the end of a 2-1/2 mile concrete road that begins in the town of Laudat. You can drive to a parking and reception area alongside the lake or walk along the road from Laudat. Freshwater Lake lies in the center of an old volcano at the foot of Morne Macaque. This is Dominica's largest lake, is located at over 2500 ft above sea level and is the source of the Roseau River. Though it's only 55 ft deep, the lake was historically thought to be bottomless and a persistent legend tells of a one-eyed denizen of the deep that resides in the lake.
The circular trail starts and ends at the lake reception area. The walk around the lake provides the opportunity to study Dominicas higher forests. Montane forest, which can be recognized by its short, thin trees and open canopy, covers the majority of the area surrounding the lake. The shallow soils and strong winds do not permit the luxuriant tree growth so characteristic of the rainforest. The elevated areas around the lake offer a magnificent view of the East coast and the towns of Grand Fond and Rosalie to which the Chemin Letang trail leads. On a very clear day you may even be able to catch a glimpse of the French island of Marie-Galante on the horizon, to the North-East of Dominica.
Starting point: Laudat

SouthEast
Time taken: 1 hour round trip
