Grand Etang Lake

Grand Etang Lake is a crater lake in an extinct volcano. It is located on the island of Grenada, in Saint Andrew Parish. The Grand Etang Lake is 530 m (1,740 ft) above sea level and it is one of the two crater lakes on the island (the other being Lake Antoine).[1] The lake is approximately 20 feet deep and 36 acres in area [1][2][3] and is also rumored to be home to a mermaid living in the depths that lure men to their watery grave.[4]

One is able to discover distinct eco-zones because of the park's varied elevation. Guided tours are available. A self-guided hike around the azure colored lake along a trail goes past waterfalls and through jungle. Tropical birds, tiny bright-chartreuse lizards, a variety of orchids, and armadilloes can be seen. Mount Qua Qua can be seen across the lake. Trail hikes range from 15 minutes to 4 hours. Mona monkeys can also be seen overhead in the forest.[5]

Grand Etang Lake is represented on the base of the Coat of arms of Grenada.
