Emerald Pool
In the rainforest, a waterfall about 12 m high tumbles into an emerald-green pool. It's a roughly 15-minute walk from the road and the easiest waterfall on the island to reach.
Emerald Pool lies on the northern edge of Morne Trois Pitons National Park. A visitor center and parking lot sit beside the road from Roseau to the east coast. A gentle loop trail winds through the rainforest for about 15–20 minutes, with viewpoints along the way overlooking valleys on the Atlantic side. The pool below the waterfall is swimmable, and its water looks emerald green because of the moss-covered rock walls. Facilities are well developed, making it suitable for older visitors and children. Cruise-ship groups arrive around midday, so it's best to go early in the morning. An Eco-Site Pass (about US$5) is required, and the site is about a 40-minute drive from Roseau.
