White River

White River (also Riviere Blanche, River Blanc) is a notable river in Saint Patrick Parish, Dominica. Spanning 6.35 kilometres, it flows alongside the Grande Soufrière Hills, a volcanic region that enriches the river with sulfur, giving its waters a distinctive milky-white hue. The Boiling Lake feeds the river and travels through various landscapes before reaching Delices, where it is joined by River Jack and River Claire as it meanders along the Delices Main Road.

A Sulfur-Rich Waterway on Dominica’s Southeast Coast

Along its course, the river passes near the impressive Victoria Falls. It supports local eco-tourism, with sites like the Zion Valley Herbal Garden and Campground offering visitors a chance to experience the area’s natural beauty. With its unique sulfur-rich composition and picturesque surroundings, this river is a critical feature of Dominica’s natural landscape.​
