History
Dunn's River Falls is formed by limestone tufa terraces that flow directly into the Caribbean; the falls and adjacent park have been a major local attraction for much of the 20th century, shaping Ocho Rios’s tourism economy.
Conservation
Park fees and guided operations fund trail maintenance and erosion control; visitors should avoid soaps or sunscreens in the water and stay on marked routes to protect fragile limestone and downstream coral habitats.
