The Barre de L'isle Forest Reserve gets its name from the fact that it
is a ridge that divides the Eastern and Western halves of St. Lucia. It
takes approximately one hour to walk this 1.6km (one mile) trail and another
hour to climb to the top of Mt. La Combe.

The Barre de L'isle trail provides panoramic views of certain parts of
the island from four lookout points along the trail. One can have a mystic
view of the rugged Mt. Gimie and the blue green rainforest from a distance.
One can see Cul-de-Sac valley and the Caribbean Sea on the West from a
vantage point, and a commanding view of the Mabouya Valley and Fond d'Or
beach on the Atlantic coast on the East.
