Nestled in the lush hills near Mason Hall, the Hillsborough Reservoir is Tobago’s main water storage and supply facility. Officially commissioned in 1952, it was the island’s first major water project designed to meet the growing needs of both residents and visitors.
Constructed by damming the Hillsborough River, the reservoir holds approximately 1 million cubic meters of water, serving areas from Scarborough to Crown Point and beyond. Today, it remains an essential part of Tobago’s infrastructure, surrounded by scenic greenery perfect for nature lovers and history buffs alike.
Visitors can enjoy views of this important landmark while exploring the surrounding forests, making it a unique stop for eco-tours or heritage sightseeing.
