Lakes found in Grenada
Grand Etang lake[edit | edit source]
Located in the heart of Grand Etang national park, 9 miles southwest of Grenville and 11 miles north of St. Georges , Lake Antoine is a picturesque crater lake that was formed within the caldera of an extinct volcano which sits at an altitude of 1,740 feet above sea level. The lush vegetation provides shelter for a wide variety of animals, particularly for the island’s many species of birds. In addition, Grand Etang is populated by plenty of frogs and lizards, as well as playing host to opossums, armadillos, mongoose, and the Mona monkey.[1]
Lake Antoine[edit | edit source]
Like Grand Etang, Lake Antoine sits in the crater of a long extinct volcano, covering about 16 acres. Located 6 miles north of the Eastern town of Grenville, the journey to find this lake is well worth it as you get to admire its beauty, surrounding unspoilt nature and perfect shape from a hillside vantage point. The shallow lake is home to a myriad of wildlife and is excellent for bird watchers as it attracts species such as snail kites, fulvous whistling ducks, large billed seed-finches, gray kingbirds and limpkins.
