Camps River Watershed
Camps River Watershed is the protected catchment on windward Nevis around Camps, where ravines, river channels, and forest gather runoff from the mountain.
Overview
Camps River Watershed is a protected drainage landscape rather than a single waterfall or viewpoint. Ravines, upper-slope vegetation, and river channels shape the setting on the wetter side of Nevis.
It belongs to the windward side of the island around Camps and the broader Newcastle Area, where runoff from the mountain gathers into valleys before reaching the exposed coast.
The watershed is best read as a catchment landscape. The key features are drainage, forest cover, and the way water moves through eastern Nevis.
