River Blanc, Wotten Waven

River Blanc, distinct from the River Blanc in Delices, is situated in Wotten Waven, Saint George Parish, Dominica, and originates at the foot of Morne Watt, near Du Mas Estate. This river flows through the lush landscapes near Segment #4 of the Waitukubuli National Trail, which offers scenic views of Dominica’s geothermal activity. As River Blanc meanders through the forested areas, it passes Robinson Estate before reaching the village of Wotten Waven, known for its natural sulfur springs and geothermal attractions. The river then joins the Roseau River at Hartington Estate, where it crosses the Trafalgar Road.

A Journey Through Dominica’s Volcanic Heart

The course of River Blanc highlights Dominica’s volcanic origins, as it navigates through an area known for its geothermal activity and healing sulfur springs. The Wotten Waven community has long capitalised on these natural hot springs, transforming the area into a hotspot for eco-tourism with open-air pools and mud baths. The convergence of River Blanc with the Roseau River marks a significant point in its journey, contributing to the natural and touristic appeal of the region
