Length: 4.97 miles Duration: 2.5 hours  This trail follows the course of the Picard River as it descends towards Portsmouth. This magnificent rainforest is home to the rare indigenous Sisserou (Amazona imperialis), Dominica’s National Bird, and the Jaco (Amaxona arausiaca) parrots, which you are likely to hear and possibly see. From overlooking the ravine, the trail descends to the river itself, which is crossed frequently as it tumbles down towards the town of Portsmouth. The trail was used by the Maroons in the nineteenth century on their raids against the British troops at Fort Shirley. The trail leaves the rainforest and passes through plantations before ending at the main road at the entrance to Portsmouth.
