Bog Walk is a town in the parish of Saint Catherine, Jamaica.

In 1898 work started on a hydroelectric power plant on the Rio Cobre near Bog Walk. The plant (1,500 H.P.) was completed the next year and used to power Kingston's tramway system (until then the cars were hauled by pairs of mules).{{cite book |title=Waterfalls of Jamaica: Sublime and Beautiful Objects |year=2003 |last=Hudson |first=Brian |pages=55, 59 |isbn=9766401020 |publisher=University of West Indies Press}} In a June 1904 accident, 33 workers died while cleaning the huge water pipe feeding the power station.{{cite news |title=Fearful Catastrophe At Bog Walk Drowning Men Fight For Life Sudden Rush of Water Causes Panic 33 Able-Bodied Men Drowned In Water-Pipe No Accurate Information as To Cause Of The Disaster |newspaper=The Gleaner |date=28 June 1904}}, cited in {{cite news |title=1904 Bog Walk disaster relived |newspaper=The Gleaner |url=https://jamaica-gleaner.com/article/esponsored/20210702/1904-bog-walk-disaster-relived |date=2 July 2021 |access-date=17 December 2022}}{{cite news |title=Bog Walk Tube |url=https://old.jamaica-gleaner.com/pages/history/story004.html |last=Tortello |first=Rebecca |newspaper=The Gleaner |department=Pieces of the Past |access-date=17 December 2022}} The plant, one of the earliest in the Western Hemisphere, was closed in August 1966.
