Discover more about River Sallée Boiling Springs

River Sallee Boiling Springs, located in the northern parish of St. Patrick, Grenada, presents a fascinating glimpse into the island's volcanic origins. Here, you'll find a collection of six distinct boiling springs, each offering a unique experience. The water temperature averages around 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees Celsius). The springs are concentrated within a 594-square-meter area composed of soft, porous volcanic sediments. The largest pool features muddy brown water, stretching 15 feet in circumference and plunging to about 6 feet deep. In contrast, the smaller holes contain clear, salty water, a surprising feature considering the springs' location more than a mile from the sea. Orange-yellow sulphur deposits line the runoff channels, adding a splash of color to the landscape. Beyond their geological appeal, the springs hold cultural significance. Local Baptists have traditionally used the site for baptisms and other religious rituals. Many visitors toss coins into the pools, making wishes as they connect with the site's spiritual aura. Some pools have been enlarged to allow visitors to immerse themselves in the mineral-rich waters, seeking the rumored healing powers of the sulphur. Visitors can indulge in mud body massages and loofah treatments, followed by relaxation in the warm sulphur pools and cleansing with water from a sulphur spring well. The experience is completed with a scrub down using cocoa butter, leaving visitors feeling rejuvenated.
