Blue Lake
A lake formed in an abandoned iron-mine pit near Tubmanburg, its water a deep blue and surrounded by forest.
Blue Lake lies on the outskirts of Tubmanburg, capital of Bomi County, about 65 km from Monrovia. It was once an open-pit mine of the Bomi Hills iron mine. After mining stopped, the pit filled with water, which takes on a rich blue color from its depth and minerals, and it is surrounded by tropical forest. It is a popular spot for locals to take weekend outings and photos. Facilities are basic, and entry costs a small fee. The water is very deep, so swimming is not recommended. Roads turn muddy in the rainy season, so it is best to visit in the dry season.
