The Mount St. Catherine Forest Reserve is Grenada's second largest declared terrestrial protected area, after the Grand Etang and Annandale Forest Reserves. Covering 934 ha within a boundary perimeter of 31.7 km (19.7 mi), its headwaters drain across seven of the largest watersheds on the island, supplying important catchment basins for water distribution to Grenadians and agrarian landscapes downstream. The forest reserve encompasses the principal peak of the Mount Saint Catherine massif, which is the highest point on the island at 840 m (2,760 ft). It also features other lushly forested ridges and lesser peaks, the highest waterfall in the country, the majority of the island's known hot springs, including the hottest geothermal spring and its most accessible geothermal bathing pool.
Insider tip — Clabony's sulphur spring sits near Grenada's southwest coast not far from Grand Anse Beach, making it an easy half-day excursion from the island's main resort area. The spring is fed by volcanic activity from the same system that created the island, and locals have long used the mineral-rich water for skin ailments. The nutmeg and cocoa plantations surrounding the area reward a longer countryside drive.
