Concord Falls at a Glance
About Concord Falls
Concord Falls is a cluster of freshwater cascades and plunge pools in Saint John Parish, Grenada, located away from the island’s main coastal resorts. The site is popular for day visits by locals and visitors seeking natural swimming spots.
The attraction consists of multiple short drops and clear pools formed on a small river, with shallow tiers rather than a single large vertical fall. Visitors typically walk a short distance from parking to reach the pools and natural platforms.
Local residents and small landowners historically used the river and pools for bathing and freshwater supply; over time the site became known as a recreational swimming spot. Access and visitor facilities remain minimal and informal.
The falls lie inland in northern Grenada within Saint John Parish, set in tropical hillside terrain and reachable by road and a short footpath from nearby rural roads.
- Swimming pools: Contains a series of small cascades and natural plunge pools that are commonly used for swimming and local cliff jumping where safe.
- Access: Located inland in Saint John Parish and reached by a short walk from roadside access points; local guides or directions are commonly used to find the falls.
