The Source
The Source is the named spring source and intake area above Golden Rock on Nevis, reached along a forested pipeline route on the mountain side.
Overview
The Source is a named upper-forest water site above Golden Rock. It refers to a spring and intake point deeper in the rainforest, not to the whole waterfall route system on Nevis.
The site sits on the Gingerland side of the mountain and is approached through the route described under Golden Rock to Nevis Waterfalls. In island terms, it belongs to the interior forest above Gingerland Area.
Its scale is narrower and more specific than the broader Nevis Waterfalls area. The page is about one upper-water point in the mountain forest rather than a whole cascade landscape.
