Five Blues Lake National Park is an often over looked national park on the Hummingbird Highway. it is located at mile 32 in St. Margaret's Village on the Hummingbird Highway. The center pieced of the park is the Five Blues Lake, a water filled sink hole of blue water. The name comes from the five shades of blue you can seen in the water.

The lake itself is 4 km down off the Hummingbird Highway on an unpaved road through citrus goves. Birding along this road can be productive, particularly if you fine some uncared for groves.

There is a visitor center just off the highway, but I have never been able to find a warden there. There was an honor box on one visit to pay the entrance fee. You may also be able to inquire in the village and find a warden that way.

The park itself is very pretty, with trails winding through limestone Karst formations. This is cave country and I wouldn't stray off the trails at all, the area is reported to have a lot of sink holes.

Details

The park is 4061 acres in size and is mostly Lowland broad-leaved moist forest and agricultural uses. Lots of citrus and some corn from personal observation. 

The park was once co-manged by a locak association but their website, http://5blueslake.org no longer works and the BERDS website now lists the Belize Audubon Society as the co-manager. the BAS website does not mention the park.

Getting There

Located just off the Hummingbird Highway you shoudl be able to reach it easily by bus or passanger rental car. The road likely varies a lot in quality and in a wet season you might not be able to drive all the way in without getting stuck, but should be able to drive a good portion in and walk from there.

Likely if you can find a warden you can arrange transportation in to the park itself through them it has been reported.
