Boiling Lake is located in the southern part of Dominica, situated 2,300 feet (700 metres) above sea level.1
Specifically, the lake is found within Morne Trois Pitons National Park, which is located approximately 5 miles (8 km) east of the capital city, Roseau. The lake itself is a flooded fumarole characterized by geothermal activity, where the pressure of escaping gases often forces the water to rise above its normal level.21
