The '''Colonarie River''' is the longest river in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Located on the main island of Saint Vincent, it flows from the north-eastern slopes of Grand Bonhomme peak in a north-easterly direction, turning east before flowing into the Atlantic Ocean on the island's central east coast. The town of Colonarie is located on the banks of the river.
