The Vio River rises on the north slope of the Trou Cochon ( Aux Delices ), where it rises from the same aquifer as the Sourischol River and the source streams of the Saint Sauveur River ( Ravine Fille , River Bois Marigot ). It flows first to the northwest, continues in a winding course from Fortune straight to the north, where it takes in several small streams and flows between Scotland and Belle Fille from the right and south into the Belle Fille River .
