Located on the road up to Levera, this caldera (remnants of an extinct collapsed volcanoe) has filled with fresh terrestrial runoff. Covering approximately 16 acres, the lake is home to a wide diversity of species: coconut tress, sugar cane, bananas, watermelons, and other agricultural crops; the lake and neighboring mangrove support tropical birds, fishes, crabs, and other unique marine life. Birdwatchers frequent the lake regularly as it is a favorite stopping point for migratory birds. Just minutes from the lake are Antoine Bay and beach, situated on the rugged Atlantic coast; the rough surf and blossoming mangrove are well known and accessed by many. Don’t forget to visit the historical River Antoine Rum Distillery just around the corner. |
