Little Palmiste River

The Little Palmiste River is a small waterway located in the parish of Saint John, Grenada. It originates at the former Palmiste mining site and flows through a valley. Visitors go here to observe the natural landscape and view the remaining ruins of facilities constructed during the French colonial period.

Duration of Visit

Allow roughly 1 to 2 hours to walk along the riverbanks and examine the colonial remnants.

When to Visit

The area is best visited during the morning or early afternoon to ensure sufficient daylight for viewing the ruins. It is advisable to check local weather forecasts, as heavy rain can affect the river's flow and accessibility of the valley paths.
