FENTON FALLS 2020 | WILLIAMSFIELD | WESTMORELAND

fenton fallsFENTON FALLS
For those looking to venture off the beaten path, Fenton Falls, also known as the secret falls, are the closest to Negril. The falls are located just over an hour outside of Negril on private land owned by the Fentons. The secluded riverwalk begins with a hike through a pasture lined with plum and jackfruit trees that guests are encouraged to sample from. When guests reach the falls, they will see the result of three rivers meeting. This creates a stream of water that flows down the rocky hillside and fills multiple pools on its way down. While Fenton Falls are known among locals, you will rarely encounter other tourists during your visit there.
LOCAL TIPS FOR YOUR TRIP TO THE WATERFALLS
fenton fallsIf you’re planning on seeing a waterfall or two during your stay at Skylark, there are a few useful things to know! If you have any other questions, our amazing concierge team is always happy to help.
Keep in mind that these pools and waterfalls are completely natural. When there is heavy rainfall in the Negril area, the currents can become more powerful and unsafe. If this has occurred, check to make sure the falls are still open.
Bring water shoes, especially for the river walks at Mayfield and Fenton Falls. There are usually shoe rentals available at Mayfield, but it’s always best to bring your own. These are natural springs, so parts are rocky. With shoes, you’ll be able to wade in without a worry.
Pack water and snacks. There is usually food and water available for purchase, but it is best to ensure you stay hydrated in our warm climate.
If you take a tour of the falls (or any other attraction on the island), keep in mind that most guides expect you to tip for their service.
