Discover more about Mount Sage National Park

Mount Sage National Park, established in 1964, protects the highest peak in the British Virgin Islands, rising to 1,716 feet (523m). The park spans 96 acres (39 ha) and offers a unique landscape of semi-rainforest, a welcome contrast to the island's beaches. Originally farmland, the area was reforested in the mid-20th century with West Indian and Honduran mahogany, and white cedar trees, thanks to a donation by Laurance Rockefeller. Today, the park boasts diverse vegetation, with moist forests on the northern side and drier forests on the south. Visitors can explore twelve trails, including the Mahogany Forest Trail and the Henry Adams Loop Trail. These trails offer varying levels of difficulty and showcase the park's unique flora and fauna, including ferns, flowers, vines, and birds such as the American kestrel and mountain dove. From various points, hikers can enjoy scenic views of Jost Van Dyke, and other islands.
