The Soufrière River (French la Soufrière) is a river in the Soufrière Quarter on the island country of Saint Lucia. [1] The French term "Soufrière" is a generic one referring to "Sulphury" volcanic peaks called La Soufrière or Soufrière Hills on each of St. Vincent, St. Lucia, Dominica, Guadeloupe. [2] [3] [4]
The Soufrière River empties into Soufrière Bay on the Caribbean Sea. A river separates the town of Soufrière from the Fond Beniere area. [5] A section of the river above the town was canalised and realigned in 1972; the river was realigned again in 1994. [6] [7]
Tributaries of the Soufrière River in the interior include the Jeremy and Migny rivers.
