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

==Important Bird Area==
A 1,590&nbsp;ha site encompassing the middle and upper reaches of the Colonarie’s watershed has been designated an [Important Bird Area](/source/Important_Bird_Area) (IBA) by [BirdLife International](/source/BirdLife_International) because it supports significant populations of [lesser Antillean swift](/source/lesser_Antillean_swift)s, [purple](/source/purple-throated_carib) and [green-throated carib](/source/green-throated_carib)s, [Antillean crested hummingbird](/source/Antillean_crested_hummingbird)s, [Saint Vincent amazon](/source/Saint_Vincent_amazon)s, [Caribbean elaenia](/source/Caribbean_elaenia)s, [Grenada flycatcher](/source/Grenada_flycatcher)s, [scaly-breasted thrasher](/source/scaly-breasted_thrasher)s, [brown trembler](/source/brown_trembler)s, [rufous-throated solitaire](/source/rufous-throated_solitaire)s, [lesser Antillean euphonia](/source/lesser_Antillean_euphonia)s, [whistling warbler](/source/whistling_warbler)s, [Saint Vincent tanager](/source/Saint_Vincent_tanager)s and [lesser Antillean bullfinch](/source/lesser_Antillean_bullfinch)es.<ref name=bli>{{cite web |url= https://datazone.birdlife.org/site/factsheet/colonarie-forest-reserve-iba-st-vincent-and-the-grenadines|title= Colonarie Forest Reserve|author=<!--Not stated--> |date=2024|website= BirdLife Data Zone|publisher= BirdLife International|access-date= 2024-09-14}}</ref>
