Getting around Grenada - Grenada Waterfalls

Concord Falls on Grenada, Au Coin falls and Fontainbleu fallsConcord Falls on Grenada, Au Coin falls and Fontainbleu fallsConcord Falls is actually a series three very picturesque waterfalls and are ideally suited for swimming.
The first waterfall Concord Falls is accessible by road, the second Au Coin falls, and the third Fontainbleu falls are only accessible by foot.

Time: 1-2 hours.
Difficulty: 2-3, slipper rocks.
Trailhead: Drive to the Concord Valley and Concord River from the west coast.
This is the drive-in approach, the one most visitors take.
However, the majority of people see only the first waterfall, look and leave; only a few take the extra 20 minutes to walk to the upper falls.
At the lower or first falls you can buy drinks as well as paddle around in the basin at the foot of the 35-foot high falls.
CampingThe lowest of the three is a very popular swimming area, camping spot, and tourist attraction, with modern facilities surrounding its generous swimming area.

Headed toward the upper falls, you'll pass through a nutmeg plantation.

The 40 ft/12 m cascade plunges down through the thick vegetation to an inviting pool that offers a much more tranquil swim than you will find at the lower falls.

Concord Falls on Grenada, Au Coin falls and Fontainbleu fallsAt the upper falls, also called Fountainbleau Falls, the water streams down about 65 feet into another fresh water pool that's good for swimming.
The third and uppermost of the three cascades of Concord Falls lies considerably higher up the mountain and requires about two hours further hiking.
A fee of US $1.00 is charged.

Branching off from the Concord Falls Trail before it reaches the cascades is the short but demanding path leading up to the cave-like recess of Fedon's Camp.

The camp was the strategic base of Julien Fedon, a Grenadian of French origins who led a slave uprising against the British in 1765.
This well-maintained but arduous trail takes you deep into the very heart of the Grand Etang rainforest, through shady groves mahogany, teak, and many of Grenada's other tree species. Giant ferns and birdlife abound here, including the green-throated carib and the yellow-billed cuckoo.
