Yet more evidence of Grenada's
volcanic heritage.

Length: Time: 30-45 minutes. Trailhead: In the northeast section, 1.5 miles north of Lake Antoine and south of Levera National Park.

Located in the River Sallee area are 6 boiling springs with a water temperature of 35 degrees centigrade. They are found within 594 square meters of land where the surface is composed of soft porous volcanic sediments.

The largest hole, which contains muddy brown water, is 5 meters in circumference and about 2 meters deep. The other, smaller holes are filled with clear, salty water, and this is more than a mile from the sea. Orange-yellow sulphur deposits occur in the runoff channels.

These boiling springs have special religious significance for area Baptists who perform baptisms and other rituals here. Other visitors toss in coins and make a wish.
