Lower Dover Belize Jungle Lodge is blessed with water on 3 sides. Big Barton Creek and Little Barton Creek form two boundaries and the Belize River marks the back of Lower Dover’s 100 acre jungle property. The constant water supply likely had a huge impact when the Maya built a large, recently identified ceremonial settlement on our property.

Little Barton Creek has a series of 7 tufa dam waterfalls located from where the lodge sits until the Belize River in the back. Bathing in the creek is an extremely refreshing break from hot Belizean days. The creek is also a perfect spot for a wake up dip, when the water temperature is actually warmer than the air. It is also the preferred location to recover from a sever hangover, otherwise known locally as a “Gomer”.

Proud member. I’ve just joined NBN. What has been your experience? Does it bring you more readers?
Maybe a couple, we did it more to see how our traffic was reported vs. wordpress. Still have not figured out which one is a true reading…
which is true? I had a long discussion with someone about that. Gave up trying to convince her that they are each counting something slightly different. I already have Blogger stats and StatCounter. And I will see where the NBN stats fit between the first 2. So far I’m climbing briskly up as the first 10 days average out.
I would just say its not a sprint but more of a marathon and stat watching is more or less a waste of time as most bloggers can attest.
Very nice photos and narrative. I love the waterfalls…tender, cascading…. I’ll be they sound peaceful in their various seasons. :)
The drainage basin for the creek is pretty small… when it rains the creek rises and falls pretty fast. When the tropical storms roll through we actually are “trapped” by the water, but only for a day at the most…
It sounds like an interesting existence. :)
Beautiful pictures what a wonderful place you have!
Thank you! You should come visit us and enjoy it first hand.
