Middleham Falls
One of Dominica's highest waterfalls, dropping about 60 m. The walk through primeval rainforest takes about an hour, and you can swim in the pool at the base.
The falls are in the northwest of the national park, where water plunges from a high cliff into a cool pool, surrounded by towering buttress-root trees and ferns. The trail starts from Laudat or Cochrane village and takes about 1 to 1.5 hours one way. It has wooden boardwalks and steps, but also muddy climbs and creek crossings, so wear shoes with good grip. Along the way you may spot hummingbirds, parrots and many orchids. An eco-site pass is required. You don't need a guide to complete the walk, but take extra care on rainy days when the path is slippery and streams rise.
