Grégoire Creek is located in the municipality of Sinnamary, French Guiana, downstream from the Petit-Saut hydroelectric dam. This small creek with a sandy bottom offers cool, clear water ideal for swimming. A first waterfall is found right at the creek's entrance; others further upstream are reached after 1.5 to 2 hours of walking.
The site combines river travel, swimming and hiking:
There is no direct land access: the river is the only way to reach the creek. The boat launch is at the Petit-Saut landing, accessible via the road of the same name, between Kourou and Sinnamary. Launch downstream from the dam. The entrance to the creek, on the left when heading away from the dam, is recognisable by its characteristic reddish rocks. For the walking portion, it is advisable to be accompanied by a guide specialised in the Amazonian environment.
Access is by river only: launch from the Petit-Saut boat landing, downstream from the dam, between Kourou and Sinnamary. Allow approximately 15 minutes by motorised boat.
