Titou Gorge

15° 19.8′ N · 61° 19.5′ W

A narrow volcanic slot canyon at Laudat where you swim upstream between sheer, fern-hung walls to a hidden waterfall - with a warm spring at the entrance; it is also the trailhead for the Boiling Lake.

Practical

Coordinates from OpenStreetMap (Titou Gorge locality, Laudat). Swim in a life jacket - the water is cold and the current at the fall can be strong; Discover Dominica lists canyoning tours here. Avoid entirely after heavy rain (flash floods). Hikers cool off here after the Boiling Lake trek. About 40 minutes from Roseau by road.
