The Caribbean's Longest Walking Trail
At least seven segments of the Waitukubuli National Trail have been made safe and accessible for the adventurous nature traveller to explore. The Forestry Division of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries has done commendable work in clearing segments three, four, six, eleven, twelve, thirteen and fourteen, which opens 81 kilometers (50 miles) to local and visiting hikers.

Other popular attractions which involve some level of hiking are now accessible and operational.
These include: Trafalgar Falls, Emerald Pool, L’Escalier Tete Chien, Middleham Falls, Freshwater Lake, Cabrits National Park and Syndicate Nature Trail.
The trek to the famous Boiling Lake--a level 4 (difficult) hike across towering mountain ranges, hot streams, hot boiling mud, mini geysers and forests--is open and considered a “must do” for the trekking enthusiast.

* Trail users are advised to exercise caution on all paths and guides are recommended as there are landscape changes on certain trails. Hikers are encouraged to use appropriate hiking gear when trekking in Dominica.
** The Forestry Division continues to assess the island’s hiking trails and will provide updates once assessments have been made and necessary repairs have been completed.
