Wallilabou River

The Wallilabou River is a river in the northwest of Saint Vincent. It rises in the Grand Bonhomme Mountains in the centre of the island and flows northwest to reach the Caribbean Sea north of Barrouallie. Wallilabou Falls-a tourist attraction-is located on this river, a short walk Northeast along the Leeward Highway.
