Understand
Five Blues Lake National Park is unusual in that it's managed entirely by the local people of Saint Margaret's Village, with a volunteer board of directors drawn from the various ethnic groups of this small community.
Landscape
The geographic centerpiece of this 4200-acre park is Five Blues Lake, a cenote formed by the collapse of a huge underground cave. The varying depth up to 200 feet and composition of the bottom, and the light filtering through surrounding trees give the water different colors, which is the origin of the lake's name: Five Blues.
History
The park was established on Earth Day in 1991.
