Discover more about Lake Antoine

Lake Antoine is a captivating crater lake in Grenada, formed by the collapse of a volcano around 14,000 years ago. This natural wonder is located six miles north of Grenville. The lake's perfectly shaped crater, encircled by consolidated volcanic ash, makes it a prime example of a tuffaceous ring. Originally measured at 100 feet deep in 1939, siltation has reduced its depth to between 16 and 23 feet. Covering 42 acres, Lake Antoine is larger than Grand Etang Lake. While vegetation around the lake has been cleared for agriculture, it remains a rich wetland ecosystem. Birdwatchers will find a variety of species, including herons, ruddy ducks, and snail kites. The lake is also near the River Antoine Rum Distillery and Belmont Estate, offering opportunities to combine nature with cultural experiences.
