Thatch Hill River Park: Hidden Gem outside Ocho Rios Jamaica

Jamaican River Cookout / Picnic Spot

In more ways than 1, river cookouts and picnics are fulfilling wellness moments. A refreshing river rush is the soundtrack to good eats and good vibes! These experiences stage quality time with others in an easygoing, natural setting plus add hearty meals. This serene scene coupled with food is a favourite way to unwind.

My crew used an available cooking area to hold a chill linkup. Thatch Hill River Park’s outdoor kitchen provided wide counter space and a couple makeshift burner stands. We brought the rest— including a small grill, pots, utensils, coal, lighter fluid, igloo and all ingredients.

By this time, the group had already shared riverside culinary experiences together. Those times made our trip’s cooks comfortable going into Thatch Hill River Park’s rustic setup to prepare the meals. A mini bar and snack station on the property had items for sale ‘til around closing time. We were able to grab a couple drinks here to add to our bar stock.
