The Soufrière River empties into Soufrière Bay on the Caribbean Sea. A river separates the town of Soufrière from the Fond Beniere area.[5] A section of the river above the town was canalised and realigned in 1972; the river was realigned again in 1994.[6][7]

Tributaries of the Soufrière River in the interior include the Jeremy and Migny rivers.
