Little Jamaica is a surprisingly beautiful oasis just outside of Mesquite at the Nevada / Arizona border.

 Warm spring water comes out of the ground with a high calcite content that turns the hillside into a gorgeous karst feature of active flowstone and rimstone dams, some of which have pools of water big enough to swim.

Hanging gardens and flow stone formations hang from the ceiling as water drips down while surrounding yourself with a beautiful green room of water and ferns.

Unfortunately, the close proximity to the highway and the ease of access has started to turn this lovely gem into a trash ridden and filthy place.

Broken glass and garbage pile up in the parking lot and drift through the gardens with such a foul presence, that it leaves a human element of disregard to our environment and respect for one another. .

It is a shame to see this unusual anomaly and rare natural occurrence treated like a public bathroom so please take your garbage with you and appreciate this place as it was a piece of your property. 

I highly recommend visiting the falls and enjoying the water as it is a warm and refreshing place to stop or stay at for the day. 

be careful walking on the rim stone dams as they are slippery.
