Dos D'Anse Pond
Dos D'Anse Pond is an upland pond high on Verchild's Mountain in St Kitts, reached through steep interior terrain on the upper slopes.
Overview
Dos D'Anse Pond sits high on Verchild's Mountain in cool, steep, forested ground. It is a mountain water feature, not a coastal pond or a lowland wetland.
The pond lies on the western side of Verchild's Mountain and is reached by Dos D'Anse Pond Trail. It belongs to the island's interior uplands, well above the settlement and beach belts.
That high setting is what gives the pond its interest. On St Kitts, most water features people notice first are bays, streams, or salt ponds; this one sits in upper mountain terrain.
