There’s nothing much near the lake, but the scenery and view of the estate around the lake is awesome. Definitely not a must visit but a good visit if you like nature and have time. You won't spend more than 15 mins soaking up the view and then on your way to the next stop. We spotted a Mona monkey at the entrance which is actually a protected species. Our tour guide showed the differences in the damage done by the hurricane Ivan. The Vegetation colour and density was clearly visible. We also took a piece of bread and fed the fish. There are tons of fish that will come to you. If you hold the bread in the water, you can feel all the fish biting your fingers. It was a fun experience. But, if you are short on time, this is really not on the top of your list. Entrance fee is about $2 and there's a small museum and clean toilets. You then drive off to the lake once you purchase tickets.

Really fascinating lake created by volcanic activity in the past. Very quiet and calm and with no fishing allowed the lake was full of exotic fish. If you are lucky and carry a banana or two you might also encounter the mone monkeys

Interesting drive mainly up steepish hills from St George and be prepared for bendy roads, signposting of limited supply, however you shouldn’t get too lost. Visitor Centre at Grand Etang worth a short visit, as is the walk up to the lookout towards the coast (about 10 minutes up/ down semi muddy path. Worth a short walk down to the Lake, plenty of fish swimming around. Recommend this for a short visit.

Catch a bus (number 6 or number 2) from St George’s for EC$10 round trip, chat to local residents and arrive at the most beautiful serene volcanic lake, full of koi carp! The park is EC$2 to go inside hundreds of acres of jungle. We hiked up to the right (steep but do-able) to the top lip of the crater and could see over the entire island to the sea and beyond. We then headed back to the visitor centre, headed up to the viewing deck (5-10 mins) and could see across lush tropical forests to the coast on the other side.l of the island. We saw several mongoose, a troop of Mola monkeys and lots of birds and incredible plants, flowers and trees. It’s hard to describe the vast, silence of the jungle and the tranquility of the lake - this volcano is how the island was formed. If you think of this as a koi pond and a waste of time then you should probably stay on the cruise ship and head back to the buffet!

I’m not sure if I missed something with Grand Etang Lake. We drove up, jumped out, had a look, saw some fish being fed by other visitors and that was it. It was a lake. We were visiting waterfalls that were in the area so it was a minor detour. I wouldn’t go out of my way to visit it unless already in the area.

Went with the hope of seeing the mona monkeys but luck was not with us we heard one but saw none. However the lake was very pretty and we say the goldfish and koi carp which where very cool. There are lots of hiking trails to take through the jungle but they are very steep. Its a lovely place to have a sit and maybe a picnic.
