Five Blues Lake National Park

 
Home to one of the most unique lakes to be found, Flue Blues Lake National Park centers around a lake that originally formed due to some sort of unknown blockage, that later became unblocked and allowed to lake to drain significantly. By 2010, however, the water level appeared to be on the rise again. The national park is popular for camping, birding, and hiking.
 
Five Blues Lake takes up 10 acres of land, and is surrounded by 4000 acres of limestone hills and forestry. The way the light filters through the trees makes the water look as though it is five different shades at once, aptly giving the lake its name.

Five Blues Lake 

A favored spot for birding, over 217 species of bird have been identified at the park, as well as all five Belizean wild cat species, howler monkeys, tapir, and a wide array of plant life. Geological features of note include an abundance of caves (which house Maya artifacts) and lakes, including the Five Blues Lake.
 
Location
Set in Stann Creek District, 24.2 miles west-northwest of Sarawina, Five Blues Lake National Park happily welcomes tourists who are rooming in this part of Belize.
