Check Hall River
The Check Hall River originates from the Morne Trois Pitons National Park, next to Segment #4 of the Waitukubuli National Trail, just before passing through Middleham Estate. It winds along most of Imperial Road, providing a vital water source for communities and wildlife within Saint Paul Parish. The river flows past historical landmarks such as Springfield Estate and Antrim Valley, contributing to the lush greenery of these regions. Eventually, the river reaches Check Hall Estate and the community of Checkhall before finally emptying into the Caribbean Sea, right at the end of the Canefield Airport (DCF) runway.
Environmental Significance
The Check Hall River is a key protected river in Dominica, integral to the island’s ecosystem. It provides vital support for wildlife habitats and agricultural activities. Flowing through several significant areas within Saint Paul Parish and Dominica’s esteemed natural reserve, this river is a critical resource for local communities. Its presence is essential not only for environmental balance but also for economic benefits.
