About this place

This short trail (.4 km) descends through Tabonuco trees in the lower montane forest to the federally designated "Wild and Scenic River," the Rio Mameyes. As you get closer, the roar of the rushing river pulls you onward to Las Damas Pool and other favorite swimming spots. This is a nice trail for families with younger children and school groups. This trail received a lot of flooding and damage after Hurricane Maria. The replacement of the pedestrian bridge was partially funded by donations through the National Forest Foundation (NFF) working with the nearby Wyndham Rio Mar Grand Resort and their guests. From PR3 in Luquillo, PR take exit for PR 992, continue straight onto PR991 then turn left on PR 983 then turn right on PR 988 continue 3.6 km to the trailhead and street parking.
