Quashie River Sink
A deep forest gorge in Cockpit Country where the Quashie River disappears underground. At the bottom is a waterfall of about 20 feet and the entrance to Rat Bat Cave. Wild and undeveloped.
Getting there
Hard. Potholed dirt track from Albert Town, then about a 20-minute hike and a steep 40-foot climb down a slippery slope with ropes and a ladder. Go with a local guide only. The pin marks the sink, not the exact entrance. Avoid after rain.
