Park, this lake is the source of the Roseau River and forms the basis for
Dominica's hydro-electric scheme.
The Lake was originally of volcanic origin but construction of a dam some
years ago as part of the hydo-electric scheme increased the size of the lake.
Lennox Honychurch writes: Subject of myths and legends....a single-eyed
monster was said to reside there...it was also said to be bottomless although
it is actually only 55ft deep... If you visit on a grey, misty day when wind-swept
vapours swirl across its dragon-green surface, you will forgive the story-tellers
for creating their far-fetched legends.
The Lake is reached on a new 2.5 mile road from the main Laudat-Roseau
road just before you enter the village.
2005 saw the introduction of kayaking and boat tours on the Lake.
Besides the Lake itself, there is a good hour-long trail around the lake.
