About this hike
Reggae Falls, located in the hills of Seaforth, St. Thomas, is a spectacular 70-foot man-made cascade originally built as a hydroelectric dam on the Johnson River. Your hike from the Serge Island area will take you through lush forest terrain and rocky riverbeds, eventually leading to the thunderous falls that offer a powerful "natural massage" and a deep, refreshing pool perfect for swimming. Known locally as "Dam Head," the site provides a rustic, community-oriented atmosphere where you can relax in the therapeutic mineral waters after navigating the moderately challenging trail.
