Grand Etang Lake is a submarine volcano that is presently extinct. It is located on the island of Grenada, in Saint Andrew Parish. The azure-colored lake is actually a volcanic crater that long ago filled with water. Now it is 550 metre (1800 feet) above sea level. Around the lake there is a trail that meanders past waterfalls and through jungle touched with every shade of green you could dream up. One can spot bright-colored tropical birds, tiny bright-chartreuse lizards, a variety of orchids, and maybe even an armadillo. In one section you can glance across the lake and see Mount Qua Qua covered with mist. Monkeys can also be seen in the overhead forest trees. Read more:
