Nevis Waterfalls
Nevis Waterfalls is the rainforest waterfall site above Maddens on the east side of Nevis, where streams drop through rock and natural pools around Russell's Rest.
Overview
Nevis Waterfalls refers to a cluster of rain-fed falls and natural pools in the forest above Maddens rather than to one roadside cascade. Flow varies with weather and recent rain, and the setting is shaded, wet, and rock-lined.
The waterfalls are associated with Russell's Rest above Maddens in Saint James Windward, on the windward side of Nevis. The related walking route is Nevis Waterfalls Hike, while The Source describes a separate upper-water site reached from the Golden Rock side.
This is east-side stream country rather than a coastal stop. Ravines, pools, and damp forest give the waterfalls their identity.
