You can’t escape history — even on Dominica. But you can escape to Fort Shirley, part of the Cabrits National Park and located on a scenic peninsula just north of Portsmouth. This fortress is most famously known for a revolt by African slave soldiers in 1802, an event which would lead to freeing of all British slave soldiers in 1807.

Nestled at the edge of a cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea, cradled in the beauty of Dominica’s mountainous landscape, is the Fort Young Hotel, Dominica’s premier hotel. The Fort Young Hotel sits on a site where, in 1720, a rough wooden fort was built by the French. In 1761, British forces took over this fort when they captured the island and nine years later, construction began on Fort Young, named after the island’s first British Governor. These are the same walls that are now part of the hotel.

Length: 2.5 miles Nestled in the World Heritage Site is the Freshwater Lake, the largest of Dominica’s lakes. It is located in the village of Laudat over 2,500 ft above sea level. It lies at the center of an old volcano at the foot of Morne Macaque and is the source of the Roseau River. A trail surrounds the lake and allows for some spectacular views from all angles.

Freshwater Lake requires a steep climb but the views are worth it. You’ll need to hike to this lake, the island’s largest but ut won’t be lonely. Hundreds of hummingbirds can be seen along the way. It is beautiful spot in which to cool off since it’s at a higher elevation. There are opportunities for breathtaking views, beautiful hikes, kayaking and a bar is open at peak times. Hiking boots or appropriate footwear is recommended.
