geography

The river has its source in the south of the Gros Islet area in the Mongiraud and Grande Riviere areas on the Morne Serpent ( ). From there it meanders in two large arches, partly parallel to the coast to the northwest. It receives a tributary from Corinth Estate in the north and passes through Cornth and then enters further north into the local area of ​​Bois d'Orange. North of the Castries-Gros Islet-Highway it forms the Bois d'Orange Swamp at Trouya and then flows into the Caribbean Sea between Trouya Point and Morne Pimard in the Trou Gascon (François Beach) .
